Raspi5 with ssd and Homeassistant no eth0

Hi all,
couldn´t find any solution using search. I´m a newbie installing HA on SSD on raspberry pi5. Got HDMI output only, but errors during startup for network.
“Failed to start Network Manager wait online.”
No V4 IP address retrieved, no gateway. Network cable working and connected incl. green and orange status LEDs.
HA is running but not accessible except command line over HDMI
how can I exit HA and get eth0 running?

Make sure you have chosen the correct image for a RPi5.

Hi WallyR,
I chose the Rpi Imager —> special OS images —> Smarthome —> Homeassistant

Sounds correct and it is version 13.x you get, right?
Does the network cable and port work with another device?
If it does, then we must assume that the error is with the RPi.

so, installed a standard Rpi 5 image and immediately got IP v4 connection…
hm any idea why the HA image has issues with network driver on Pi5??

Problem solved, had a loop on my LAN switch!
