RTL8852BE on Fedora 43: Network dysfunctional on the new kernel

I am using Fedora 43 on XFCE4, and just now I found this strange issue I could not find much help for.

When I login through the latest kernel installed on my system (6.19.10), my network does not work. nmcli does not show my wlan connection (wlp2s0) and even though the ethernet connection is visible, it does not work when I try to connect via mobile tethering. nmcli general status returns STATE as disconnected and CONNECTIVITY as none.

Logging in from an older kernel (info listed below) makes the network function again.

Updating the system has solved this issue. But I still have no clue what causes it. One reason might have been that I put my system on Hibernate, so possibly the network got powered off?

The network almost always powers off with suspend and 100% powers off with hibernate.
