I am using Mobian on the PinePhone and sometimes, randomly after boot, the WiFi icon in the Phosh top menu is unavailable (grayed out).
A reboot can fix the issue. If we don't want to reboot, restarting NetworkManager did not work and the module 8723cs mentioned in this thread was not found.
By using the command lsmod I found the correct module, the solution was:

Code:
sudo rmmod rtw88_8723cs
sudo modprobe rtw88_8723cs
