Raspberry Pi OS • Re: Raspberry PiOS Bookworm on an early Pi Zero "niggle"

Interesting. I had an early revision Zero set up as a music player for my dad for a couple of years, and it used the old official Raspberry Pi USB WiFi dongle (see https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/ra ... fi-dongle/) that apparently uses the same Broadcom wifi chip as in your Broadcom hub+wifi device. I ended up retiring it due to heavily congested local 2.4GHz wifi that was causing problems, and upgrading the host Pi to a 3B, original flavour with the old version of the BCM2837, which obviously has no wifi or Bluetooth built in. I do remember the Zero with the old wifi dongle had occasional problems where it would fail to reconnect to the network upon reboot, and sometimes not reboot at all but I never got to the bottom of it. The Pi 3B with a 3rd-party USB wifi adaptor that supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands works well, after persuading BT to send my folks, for free, a new router that supports 5GHz. (They're paying an arm and a leg to BT for broadband and phone, but that's another story).

Did you find the Broadcom hub+wifi device worked OK on previous OSes with that Zero?
