Description
### Kernel
7.1.3-1-cachyos, 7.1.3-1-cachyos-bore
### Desktop Environment / Window Manager
KDE Plasma
### CPU
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
### GPU / Driver
AMD RX 7900 XTX
### Description
After a while the WiFi connection stops working. Pinging the router the PC is connected to doesn't work, there is no answer. After a while Plasma reports that the network isn't connected to the internet.
After some time, round about 5 minutes the connection reestablishes, other than that turning the WiFi off and on again also works.
The bug does NOT appear on the 6.18.38-1-cachyos-lts kernel, it also didn't appear on the 7.0 kernel before updating to 7.1
### Steps to Reproduce
1. start the system
2. use the internet and/or just wait
### Expected Behavior
The network connection should keep working
### Actual Behavior
The network connection stops working, packages can't be send or received

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked log and comparing the failing 7.1.3-1-cachyos kernels with the working 6.18.38-1-cachyos-lts kernel and the earlier 7.0 kernel. Reproduce the WiFi timeout using the listed steps, then identify the kernel regression and verify that the connection remains usable without toggling WiFi.
