I agree with the comment of the Debian documentation. Setting an IP address is simpler using a basic text file (/etc/network/interfaces) than NetworkManager commands. For example (extract of man interfaces) for an fixed IP address:Thanks,
with systemctl status NetworkManager I now see that NetworkManager is up and I will use it.
Interestingly the first lines of https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfigur ... ork_config for Debian 12 Bookworm tells us:
Setting up an Ethernet Interface
The majority of network setup can be done via the interfaces configuration file at /etc/network/interfaces. Here, you can give your network card an IP address (or use dhcp), set up routing information, configure IP masquerading, set default routes and much more.
Code:
