And now I have a working raspberrypi Zero 2 W with wifi (comes up automatically) and probably a working Bluetooth (not of importance to me right now but there appears to be an interface for it).

With the addition of the dhcpcd s/w shown above I had a working wpa-supplicant as it replaced the 2.11 version with the 2.9 version. My next problem was to get the wifi to start automatically. This was done by creating my own "interfaces" file under "init-updown" in the recipes-connectivity right here:

> 
> ./recipes-core/init-ifupdown/init-ifupdown-1.0/raspberrypi0-64-wf/interfaces
> 
> 

This file will be installed to /etc/network.

Somewhere I ran across this setup in which you can just override a generic file by placing the same file in a sub-directory prefixed with the machine name you are using. This will prioritise this version of the file. In that file I removed some of the references to "eth0" and "eth1" and made sure "wlan0" was set to auto.

So I consider my issue all closed and then some.

Cheers!!
