   Were the unwanted wifi explorations immediate and consistent, or more   
   delayed and random? 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.

   It seems wiser to learn how to live with Bookworm sooner rather than later.   
   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,
