New M1/M2 Macbook Air Wifi Issues? Need to set Wake for Network Access?

We're noticing with our Apple Silicon Macbook Airs that the wifi sometimes goes on the fritz after the device sleeps, in that it refuses to connect to any network until rebooted.

If someone is aware of a fix, please let me know, but we've been trying a few things and seem to be able to mitigate it by changing System Settings > Battery > Options > Wake for Network Access setting to Never. I'm not sure if this actually solves the issue, or if it's just coincidentally helping, but I'm wondering if we can set this from Jamf.

I found an option in the Energy Saver section under Configuration Profiles called "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access" but I'm not sure if this is referring to the same setting I'm looking at within in Ventura/Sonoma.

Thanks!
