Did you install the patched python3-networkmanager, as mentioned on the home page?

Instructions

[hlima]

I think I dont have the patched version of net manager. I did not install it directly. I added the davsteele repo, ran apt update an run apt install comitup. I will read the instruction again and see how I can install the patched version.

[davesteele]

That should have happened with the repo install. What version of python3-networkmanager do you have installed?

[hlima]

Updating the NetworkManager fixed the issue.
I have now updated NetworkManager with the patched version, and I don't know what was there before. I did not explicitly install it, so I suspect it is whatever was there. I did a dpkg -l in another similar rpi4 and I got this:
ii python3-networkmanager 2.2-2 all Python 3 interface to the NetworkManager D-Bus interface
In any case, everything is working as it should with the patched version.
Thank you very much for your help, and my apologies for not reading the instructions more carefully.

[davesteele]

Adding my repository should have pulled in python3-networkmanager (aka the python NetworkManager library) version 2.2-3, which has a fix for problems like you are seeing.
