  In bug 1962704, backport-iwlwifi-dkms of focal/impish/jammy is being
  proposed to upgrade to its revision 9580, but after v5.17 being released
  and entered Jammy as new -generic kernel, 9580 fails to build against
  the latest kernel headers due to multiple problems including API change
  in commit 7462494408cd ("ethtool: extend ringparam setting/getting API
  with rx_buf_len").
  
  This is fixed at least in upstream revision 9858
  (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-
  iwlwifi.git/commit/?id=d0c7cb83a3772ed9dfb7b22242faea0951090ffd).
