Dan, thanks for the quick response!

I removed wpasupplicant and get wlan0 as "unmanaged", not "unavailable":

$ nmcli dev
DEVICE     TYPE              STATE
eth0       802-3-ethernet    connected
usb0       802-3-ethernet    unavailable
wlan0      802-11-wireless   unmanaged

Is this the expected result?
