Happy to hear all is now working.....

FWIW, if you go to here....

You'd see 3 snapshots of the Network Manager GUI on KDE.

one6.jpeg shows 2 wireless links up and configured and attached to an AP.

one7.jpeg shows the one link with its associated "Disconnect" button displayed.  After clicking on it....

one8.jpeg shows that interface disconnected and it will remain disconnected until manually re-connected.

And.....
