If you don't like networkmanager, it is easy to switch to the old method after installation of the base system: https://github.com/mschwingen/hardware/tree/master/YOGA_GPIB/software apt install isc-dhcp-client ifupdown resolvconf apt purge modemmanager network-manager ppp avahi-daemon got me to a state where the classic configuration using /etc/network/interfaces just works. > To be honest although it is possible to do everything over ssh, the > chances of losing connectivity while messing with the network are high > and a HDMI screen and a USB keyboard are not hard to rig up with the > appropiate adapters. I had a serial console connected, but that is only activated at a later step. I sued raspberry pi imager to setup ssh pre-boot, but you can easily do that using a text editor. cu Michael -- Some people have no respect of age unless it is bottled. --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3) .
