The puzzle for me is why it will work just fine for a few reboots. Once I get it working, I avoid messing with it until I know my system better, but this doesn't make any sense. It works, then it doesn't.
FWIW I've used TDE and wifi with many Debian versions and one or two Debuan versions and am currently using Debian Bullseye.
I do not use systemd or network-manager or network-manager-tde or wicd or any other wifi automation other than wpa_supplicant.
I simply edit /etc/network/interfaces to include:
auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf iface default inet dhcp
And then /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf as appropriate, e.g.:
network={ ssid="Some SSID" psk="trinityrulez" }
network={ ssid="Another SSID" key_mgmt=NONE }
You might want to see if you can get the basics working reliabily before worrying about automation or GUI.

I will give this a try. FWIW, I am trying to avoid using a lot of GUI stuff. But, as I said, I don't have for ever to get this working right.
It has been more than a few years since I have had a new machine to work on; I copied over everything from my desktop, but since it's different hardware (and so many other things), I don't overwrite anything, but just use them for reference.
