Quick note that the Linux kernel 5.6.0 has an iwlwifi bug that will prevent network connectivity. [1]
A patch is out but did not make 5.6.0. This patch IS included in gentoo-sources-5.6.0. It will be in a future vanilla-sources 5.6.X once upstream releases a new version.

5.6.1 also has it.
That’s what I get for assuming
5.6.2 was released with the fix.
It was fixed in 5.6.2. Thanks for informing!
