ubuntu mate 24.04 Network Manager not auto connecting to network on startup

[ian]

Upon logging into ubuntu mate 24.04 on initial startup my Network Manager applet is not auto connecting to the network. If I disable network and re enable network a few times, it eventually connects.

The network was working perfectly well on previous versions of Ubuntu mate.
