Quote:1) if you look through the Raspberry Pi Forum you'll see that issues with Bluetooth/WiFi mutual interference with the Pi 3 were being discussed as early as 2016. The easy solution was to add either a USB/WiFi adapter or a USB/BT adapter as you did.
Yes, infact I was expecting the issue although hoping the additional dongle would not be needed. Luckily the dongle was laying around expecting a new purpose :-)
Quote:2) The Bookworm edition of Raspberry Pi OS uses NetworkManager which has its own configuration files (look in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections). The wpa_supplicant.conf file isn't used in normal circumstances.
Thank you! I infact noticed that the wpa_supplicant.conf file was not used in that circumstance. The advantage of that old file is that it resides on the fat partition, so editable from a windows laptop, while the other would require a linux pc to mount the ext partition, or to have a running moOde box with ethernet connection. Anyway it's solved now.
The wifi issue might present again in the future e.g. in case of a router replacement (with the inevitable password change). Problem is that most likely I won't be here to fix the problem when it happens. An ethernet connection would have been the best solution but alas it's not currently possible.
p.s.: let's see if I can remember to style the moOde name correctly from now on :-)
