I'm looking to use a USB wifi interface on my Pi5 running Trixie. Network Manager is in place (this is a default installation) and I see the following:
I've tried adding "interface-name=wlan1" to the "[connection]" stanza in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/preconfigured.nmconnection but this did not bring the external interface up on reboot and the internal, wlan0 interface, was disabled.
What is the recommended way of changing interfaces?
Thanks in advance.
