I actually found an old 802.11b/g D-Link in the bottom of a drawer and it works. Sort of....

I did a GUI Shutdown and then inserted D Link. Then rebooted and it seemed to work. But I wasn't sure if it was using the USB dongle or the internal wifi. So I shutdown the integrated wifi adaptor in the GUI and did another GUI Shutdown.

Powered back up and the wifi dongle had no lights on it and I could not get to Moode GUI. Assumed the RPi 4 was not going to connect and I'd have to re0install Moode as I now had no means of connecting because all the internal adaptors were turned off.

Just to check I did a hard reboot (power off and on) obviously no GUI involved. It came back up with wifi dongle functional. With a great signal strength. Moode works perfectly. 

To test I then did a GUI shutdown. Then restarted. No wifi.

Then did a hard off and on again and wfi dongle works again. 

It only seems to work if it is hard rebooted.

Any idea why please?

note - using 6.6.0
