   It's very hard to understand how explicitly setting wlan0 as the active   
   interface could matter when that's the only interface with connectivity.   
   But, for the moment, the visible problem is gone.   
      
   It should be said that I've had intermittent problems with WiFi for some   
   time now. For a while it seemed to be interference-like, varying seemingly   
   by time of day. After an update to Bookworm a couple weeks ago reported   
   signal strength went up, (~80% to ~90%) but that didn't prevent disconnect   
   problems. Now the disconnect issue seems to have abated.   
      
   Why is still unclear.   
      
   Thanks for writing!
