Removing Wifi card to replace with Coral - HA won't start

Hi All,
I have a project in which I want to use Frigate to recognize objects. I’m running HA from a mini PC running HAOS (no Proxmox or anything). To boost processing power, I bought a Coral TPU.
I’ve always run HA on a wired network connection so the wifi card in the mini PC is redundant. I took it out of the system in preparation for installing the coral, but then realized I need an adapter to install the coral TPU. When I tried to restart HA without the wifi card, it wouldn’t start. But after reinstalling the wifi card (mini PCI), everything was fine. So I’m guessing that it is stuck trying to find the missing network adapter. I tried SSHing into the system to run nmcli to disconnect the adapter, but I couldn’t find nmcli. So now I’m stuck.

Any ideas?

Hi dpeeling,

I suggest with the wifi card back in, you go in the bios, there should be a way to disable it.
