Fresh install of Debian13 and ASL & Cockpit on Dell 3040 in the Administrative mode.
Available WiFi search comes back with WiFi scan failed. I can manually configure my local Wi-Fi network to work on cockpit, but unable to do a search.
Ideas?

3040s don't have WiFi by default. Did you add something to it and it is nonstandard somehow?
No, they both came with wifi installed, and 12vdc. You can also purchase these models from AllScan
I can manually install this WiFi via appliance after entering my SSID and password for my AP.
When I try to use scan function is when it fails to see what networks are available.

A customer about a month ago saw a similar issue.
I asked him to run "nmcli dev wifi", which worked fine and showed all the available WiFi networks, confirming that the WiFi hardware was working fine and network manager properly working (and that Cockpit WiFi manager must be using some other command to do a scan, which wasn't working).
He then tried connecting to a network on the CLI by running "sudo nmcli dev wifi connect [YOURSSID] password [YOURPASS]" and that returned an error message about a security key being missing. I googled the error message and some fixes came up - https://www.google.com/search?q=nmcli+wifi+connect+wireless-security+key-mgmt+property+is+missing - the customer tried those (resetting some nmcli cfgs) and that fixed everything and Cockpit WiFi manager was then working great.
