Everywhere I look, these two commands disable the wireless compatibilities, eg WiFi and BT, not the WLAN, would you like to explain or share where you got the info this would also disable the built in NIC?You can definitely disable the onboard NIC. I use /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-wifi.conf with contents:There's also an incantation to disable it in /boot/firmware/config.txt but I prefer the above as it's easier to undo (rename the file).Code:
blacklist brcmfmacblacklist brcmutil
If you're using systemd-networkd to configure your networks, then you probably need to disable NetworkManager. Having multiple mechanisms trying to configure network devices is bound to cause problems.
Personally, I'd abandon using systemd-networkd and configure everything with NetworkManager. It's very straightforward, extremely flexible, and provides great logging capabilities (journalctl).
