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" :-)
