the network icon in the Pixel menu bar says no wireless, however WiFi is connected and working, or so it seems. It's not a massive deal as it's actually working - I'd just like to be able to use the Pixel Desktop to change WiFi settings.

enter image description here

iwgetid and ifconfig seem to show Wifi is connected just fine.

edit; suggestion about DHCPCD, I don't recall having done anything to break it, it seems OK going by systemctl status;

systemctl-DHCPCD-status

  • You presumably have done something to break dhcpcd but as you have provided no details of what you did who knows

You could try removing the desktop tool and re-installing it:

sudo apt update
sudo apt remove wpagui
sudo apt install wpagui

To start it

sudo wpa_gui

My Buster box currently reports:

wpagui/stable 2:2.7+git20190128+0c1e29f-6+deb10u1 armhf

Not sure if this will help or make it worse so please have a backup of the SD card :-)
