In one of the threads about wifi trouble somebody mentioned
that turning off avahi-daemon seemed to help. Trying it with
a usb-wifi dongle connected both interfaces came up. It appears
avahi has something to do with Apple hardware, so I don't
think it'll be missed

Removing the usb-wifi dongle seemed to prevent the internal
wifi from working at least the one time it was tried.

Near as I can tell, the Pi5 searches for APs even when
configured not to do so.

I still don't understand, but there's a workaround.

Thanks to all for reading and helping!
