A power cut this a.m had my Pi zero W reconnecting to the wrong wifi.Which forced me to delve into the depths of network manager as evinced by nmcli. Network manager is the new way to manage networks, and like systemd, its all changed for the sake of itYou probably can edit the files directly - mine were in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, but it's safer to use nmcli toolsYou can set a priority if you have more than one wifi SSID.sudo nmcli c modify 1You can also force it to use 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz or let it decidesudo nmcli c modify "bg"orsudo nmcli c modify "a""bg" is 2.4GHz, "a" is 5GHz.It may well be that bookworm has changed the implicit defaults in network manager.It is well worth dumping the connections withsudo nmcli connection show To work out what the connection names are, usesudo nmcli c showI think - but am not sure - that you can set more stuff through the command line than through the GUI interface to network manager

For some reason the status LED on the TP-Link AC1300 never turns on. I've tried it on both the USB 2 and USB 3 ports on the Pi5, no change.

Since yesterday's update both the interal wifi and the ac1300 come up and work. If I remove the AC1300 the internal wifi won't connect. If the AC1300 is re-connected, both interfaces come up. Also, the message about networkmanager-wait-online failing during boot goes away.

Thanks for reading, and any ideas.
