I have a Pi Zero project (Bookworm 6.12) that has two working connections in Network Manager- one for my home and one for my work.
- Both are marked as "connect automatically" as well as "Available to all users".
- My Pi Zero has connected to both successfully, and they are viewable in nmtui.
The issue is that when I take my Pi from home to work (or vice-versa), it will not be able to switch to the second known network (even after a reboot), but seems stuck trying to find the last one
When there is no Internet detected at startup my device will broadcast its own network with a configuation page to set the wifi. If I boot it without Internet and force it to broadcast it's own net, then reboot with the network on, it won't be able to find the restored network at all and will create it's own portal, which I assume is it ignoring all networks but the last with a successful connection.
I am seeing a lot about wpa_supplicant files, but bookworm doesn't seem to have those files.
Any ideas?
