Description

When there are two wifi adapters, the wifi module will show both adapters and allow me to connect from either. However, it fails to correctly show this status, as it appears to be determining the network status off of only wlan0. Additionally, if I attempt to connect to a wifi network with wlan1 selected, it will successfully connect; however, that will lead to the screenshot below and dms-shell will show an error (failed to connect to ). In the wifi networks listing below, nothing will change, and it will continue to show it as disconnected even though it is already connected. Because the wifi module appears to be handling 2 adapters as if there were only wlan0, this will also lead to getting the error unable to disconnect from a wifi, as it was connected from a different adapter, or being unable to disconnect from any wifi connected to as wlan1.
If wlan1 is already connected to a network, choosing to connect again from wlan1 (as there is no disconnect option) will reconnect to the same network without showing an error. While it reconnects, this status is reflected in the subtitle, as the connected status is at the end, but this is not reflected in the main text.

Note: Additionally, if the NetworkManager service is restarted, DMS will claim to be not connected to any network at all and fail to find wlan1.
Note: Additionally, DMS also does not show all available connections, as revealed by nmcli connection show. Instead, it seems to be showing all SSIDs. This can cause an issue if a connection is restricted to a device, for example, or a wifi network has multiple differently configured connections which are device restricted, etc.

Expected Behavior

No response

Steps to Reproduce

Plug in a second wifi adapter. Connect to a network with it using either the control center or nmcli (both cause the issue).
