iwlwifi microcode error borks my entire system?(still broken)

I was having some iwl wifi microcode errors for
05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)
which was making my system unresponsive to the point that it messed with login.d and prevented my system from shutting down.
after a few days of this I resorted to removing the modules but when I ran this after stopping networkmanager
sudo modprobe -r iwldvm iwlwifi
this happened
and when I did sudo lsmod | grep iwlwifi
this was the output
iwlwifi 585728 -1
cfg80211 1495040 1 iwlwifi
I have since successfully blacklisted that module but any insight will be helpful as I am without wifi for the moment
I had that issue too on one of my old machines. I never found a good answer other than shutting off wifi. Wifi wasn't important anyway though, and I just used ethernet on that machine.
Same, the only answers i am getting point to the module just being buggy in general.
Yeah there was a longstanding open bug on iirc the Fedora tracker and idk if it really went anywhere.
Try a different LAN card. Not much help, but a cheap usb deal might get you by
