I think we may be heading in the wrong direction with Network Manager. As I mentioned in another note, the WiFi NIC doesn't even show up with ifconfig or ip commands, though it does if I boot a rescue system.
That really reads like a missing driver; can you verify what driver is in use for the card when you boot a rescue system and ensure the non-rescue system has the same driver available and loaded?
I was working w/ a new RTL8852au adapter last night and was sad to see NOTHING displayed for it via `ip a` until I google searched a few things based off the model name and happened upon Larry's work for that driver. Now things are working as they should after a few commands 👍️
It's a Realtek RTL8188CE. One thing I just noticed, under Drivers, "Active No" & "modprobe Yes".
