In summary, I have upgraded to bookworm.
After much trouble I have finally been able to get images from the NOIR camera but I am at a loss as to how to set the AWB to greyworld. As a result the images, when lit by IR leds, are very dark blue.
Does any one here know the magic incantation I need to add to the /etc/motion/motion.config file to get the AWB set to show useable images?
i.e. the bookworm equivalent of the old buster parameter of: mmalcam_control_params -awb greyworld
TIA.
Resolved.
I have simply reverted back to Buster using an SD card image I made last March.
Everything works reliably again.
(as long as I never run apt)!
Buster is very old, Bullseye is the predecessor to Bookworm, and is still receiving updates.

I was running Bullseye when the wifi started to fail. AFAICT there was something about wps being deprecated and replaced with nm. But the confs were not converted. Other reasons have also been given. I wasn't amused to have to pull 21 SD cards and re-flash them especially as quite a few require ladders and a team of 3 guys to do it under current H&S rules.
So I'm sticking with and old, probably unsupported, o/s that just works.
Reminds me of an old engineering saying. "If it's not broke, don't fix it" :-)
I have to agree. I have a version of something nasty from the woodshed* of expired Linux distros running one Pi Zero...and its simply not possible to add any new code to it as its repos are extinct.
Hence the development on a fresh PI with bookworm...
