Hi Mat,
I've also been playing with Wi-Fi networking on a Pi5 with the Headless image from the first post of this thread. I appreciate that Network Manager is native to Bookworm, I can't seem to replicate the functionality of my Pi4 Bullseye pre-Network Manager. I have two basic challenges to overcome.
1. Getting more than 1 ESP32 wireless sensor to connect to the Pi5 running in AP mode. I can get one of three to connect, any one of three but no more.
2. I can't seem to find any direction on how to get both AP and Client working together with Bullseye Network Manager. This was a little problematic with the Pi4 but updating the Pi4 WiFi firmware cured that.
By having AP and Client working together allows an offline Pi while sailing without a separate router while also allowing internet access while on shore power/marina WiFI. No then end of the world but annoying that my previous config won't work with the Pi5.
I wonder if you've made any progress on Networking.

Hi,
I am also struggling this with. I can't get it to work as it did before (AP & Client) on a single Wifi adaptor. I can create a hotspot and share my internet but only with the hotspot open, as soon as I put any security on it, I then can't join it.
On the hotspot, have you specified a network range? I had to switch to Ad-Hoc to get that setting and then i was able to specify a network range once I went back to Hotspot.
I dont think this is an OP issue, but I'm interested to see how others have got this working. I'll do some Googling also.
Thanks,
Mat
Seems it will now stay up and allow connections with WPA/WPA2/WPA3 but not WPA3 only... Still having to use two cards to do what we could on 1.
An update to Pi5 WiFi firmware has cured the multi-ESP32 connection problem. Now to figure out how to have AP and Client at the same time. Can't seem to find out how to create a virtual WLAN adaptor with Network Manager. I recall the Pi4 OpenPlotter Network utility did this pre-NM (WLAN9) rings a bell. I'll need to go back and check.
