Yes, it helps, it restores the behaviour of NM automatically
connecting :-) It has the side effect that my system boot stalls for a
few seconds whilst it does a DHCP setup, but that's a trivial thing.

If the new behaviour is an intended consequence of recent NM changes,
then I would consider my bug report closed; but perhaps the wiki¹ should
be updated, as allow-hotplug is the default setting for a fresh Debian
install. (This wiki page is the first hit in Google for the search term
"Debian Network Manager".)

Thanks for your prompt reply.

P.S. Is the non-persistence of the "Enable Wireless" configuration a
bug?
