I sympathise. The main problem is not that its different and the
defaults may well have changed, its that the body of knowledge and
online documentation has not caught up.
Having finally plumbed the depths of network manager, it's not bad, and
it does offer command line, Curses based and x-window based interfaces
to it.
Once you know how to mess with it, its quick work to try out various
options and see what works.
Its taken about 6 months but my slow progress on bookworm seems to have
arrived at a stable headless setup on both pi 4B and Pi Zero Ws.
I have one more issue on the 4B but its not interesting to talk about here.
I will stick with bookworm and persevere to make it work. I am
fortunately in no hurry.
Eventually one has to know how to use systemd and network manager, and
that is the price to pay for using a vanilla bookworm.
