Package: network-manager
Version: 1.42.4-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: greg.deitrick at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

1. Gnome / Settings / Wi-Fi reports "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found"
2. The command, ' nmcli device wifi list ' reports no available wifi APs
Consequently, wifi connections cannot be managed by Gnome nor by nmcli

However, at the same time:
1.  Wifi network connection is working.
2.  There is no wired ethernet port on this computer.
3.  The command "ping www.google.com" indicates successful transmission.
4.  A second computer in the same location reports 4 active wifi networks with signal strengths from 59 to 100.
 
This occurred immediately after a fresh install of debian-bookworm-DI-alpha2-amd64-netinst.iso onto a Framework Laptop 12th gen.  The wifi network connection was configured during this install and used during the install.  Only the base system was installed initially.  After the first boot apt-get update/upgrade was performed and the system was rebooted.  Then tasksel was used to install a desktop environment and gnome.

Prior to this install, this computer was running Ubuntu 22.04 for over 4 months.  During this time Gnome managed the wifi network connection as expected.
The problem persisted after upgrading network-manager from the version in bookworm to the version in unstable.

Some possibly helpful output:
