PINE64 - NetworkManager

Ran into something odd, and wonder if I am the only one. Or, perhaps, if there is an easy fix.

I have the Pinebook Pro ANSI, Manjaro 21.02 XFCE running the Pinebook Pro kernel 5.7.19-1.

(BTW: I thought the Debian it came with was great, but I like Manjaro even better on this platform. The job on both hardware and software is just impressive!!! )

Since about three updates ago my NetworkManager has been unreliable on boot. By that I mean there is about a 66% chance it will work just fine, but a 34% chance it will not start on boot. All it takes to fix that is open a terminal and run "sudo NetworkManager start" and it comes up and everything is great. The next startup might be fine, or I might have to kick it up manually again.

Any ideas?

Update: NetworkManager update arrived 2021-03-07 moriing EST. It made no difference to the problem.
I placed a small script doing a "sudo NetworkManager Start" called form my .profile, and that works around the issue.

Would prefer the RIGHT way to resolve the issue, so I will be testing after every software update to see if one makes a difference.
