The issue still happens if the iwlwifi module has been blacklisted and 
after a reboot. This was again with vanilla kernel 6.6.9 and I've 
confirmed via dmesg that iwlwifi wasn't loaded.

I've also checked if there is a newer firmware but Ubuntu 23.10 is 
already using the newest firmware available from 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/log/iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode 
(version 36.ca7b901d.0 according to dmesg).
