I ask because the recent wifi problems all happened somewhat (~1 day) after an upgrade where I didn't immediately reboot the Pi5 thinking it unnecessary. The system reports "updates available" at rather frequent intervals and I'm starting to wonder if it's wise to reboot after every update promptly. > You could try disabling the NetworkManager service, and reinstalling > dhcpcd so the WiFi is only selected by the contents of the > wpa_supplicant.conf file.

Up to now RasPiOS has been trouble-free to the point that I know very little about it. Trying to second-guess the developers is likely to end badly, at least when I'm the one doing the guessing 8-) Thanks for writing, bob prohaska > ---druck --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3) .
