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.
