All hardware in this build was newly bought, and the Comfast PCIe wifi adapter is for me a known quantity, I have 2 PCs built using it. It is necessary to use a kernel in the 5.xx range for the chipset and driver to be known in the headers.
I have recently experienced invalid signatures when running updates, which appear at first sight to be unrelated to comms. issues.

I am unwilling to run a reinstall unless on the buffers because this PC presented problems in setup and I prefer not to repeat the solutions, if indeed I could remember them all.

Ethernet cable connexion has never been used as the router is too far away. I used a plug-in Usb wifi adapter to get the initial updates done, which connected hotplug. Optic fibre router is a ZTE Corporation item supplied by the service provider which has been in use nearly a year without trouble.
My system is now stable and connects automatically when the wifi network is already running. If not running then becomes available, hotplug connection is usually not made. If I try to push things along by running Ceni manually, trouble usually starts, with a soft blocked interface wlan1, and related files present in /run/wpa_supplicant. This does not surprise me as they should be there if a hotplug connection is to succeed.
A am waiting for news of changes or improvements to Connman, but having already failed with it caution prevails.
