Just got a new usb-wifi adapter, a TP-Link AC1300 which works on both
2.4 and 5 GHz (the old dongle was 2.4 GHz only). It worked on the fly
out of the box, No problems whatsoever. I wondered if access to 5 GHz
bands might sidetrack the connection process, but not at all.

There is still a problem with NetworkManager-wait-online.service
failing regardless of which dongle is used. No ill effect seems
to result, but it is strange.

For some reason the status LED on the TP-Link AC1300 never turns on.
I've tried it on both the USB 2 and USB 3 ports on the Pi5, no change.

Since yesterday's update both the interal wifi and the ac1300 come up
and work. If I remove the AC1300 the internal wifi won't connect. If
the AC1300 is re-connected, both interfaces come up. Also, the message
about networkmanager-wait-online failing during boot goes away.

Thanks for reading, and any ideas.
