I had (I think) a similar problem and was advised (by "poma") to use "blacklist":
That will work. However, IMHO, using the GUI is far simpler and easily reversible for testing purposes. Just my opinion.
I did not see a way to do it via the gui but creating the blacklist file worked and my new wireless dongle works great!
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.....

Since I don't use the KDE desktop (I use Mate) I would presume that the
forgoing is of no relevance to me. (Unless I were to switch over to
KDE, which I am not inclined to do on the basis of "Better the devil you
know ....)
This is an academic question only in my case, since I have WiFi working
from a USB plugin device with no problem.
cheers,
