This morning, after a few minutes' use of my Pi5 running Bookworm,
the WiFi connection abruptly dropped. Couldn't bring it back up,
so I rebooted the access point. No luck. Then I rebooted the Pi5
and noticed something about rfkill stopping wifi in the boot messages.
At this point the last reboot was several days past, wifi hadn't been
touched or given any trouble.

 The disconnect repeated after about an hour. No further references
to rfkill, but the boot messages grumble about NetworkManager....

 It unclear to me if this is even relevant to the disconnect event, since
at the moment wifi is connected and working.
 Anybody got a suggestion? apt update reports all up to date....

Well it may be completely irrelevant Bob, but my Pi Zero 2 W issues seem to have been solved by use of a bigger power supply.
It may be that the wifi chip is the most sensitive to inadequate voltages.
