This is just a guess.

Since this is a pretty old chip.

It is still listed here:

 https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#supported_devic=
es

but maybe they've thrown out support for this chip in the newer kernel/iwl=
wifi version.

At least, i can not find it listed in my debian 'trixie' package:

# apt-cache show firmware-iwlwifi
Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Source: firmware-nonfree
Version: 20230210-5
(.... long list ...)

* There should be a 'dmesg' notification from the bluetooth subsystem, if =
the chip was detected but not supported. Grep for 'bluetooth' or 'iwlwifi'=
.

* You could try to boot into the old kernel which was active before the up=
grade (if that's still installed) and see it it makes a difference.

* You could also try downgrading iwlwifi and firmware-linux and if that wo=
rks, put these packages on 'hold'.
