Comments/Problems:

The system has two network adapters, one on the motherboard and one
PCI-card.
During the install the second NIC (PCI-card) was unplugged.
The installer detected both NICs and selected automatically the first
one as it had an active link.
The installer configured the device via DHCP and the install finished.
After the initial reboot, DHCP configured the network and it worked.
Later second NIC was also plugged in, and the system was booted, the
network did not work.

After the initial reboot, this was in the NetworkManager config file in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired connection 1.
The device selected/working in the installation is not stored in the
NM-config.
(------ used to indicate empty line at the beginning and end)
------

[connection]
id=Wired connection 1
uuid=9762642c-bbc5-482d-a019-a9a20f13a550
type=802-3-ethernet

[802-3-ethernet]

[ipv4]
method=auto

[ipv6]
method=auto
ip6-privacy=2
------ In NM, the device for the connection was of course shown empty, manually selecting the device and saving makes the network working properly. The config file then is this:
------ [connection] id=Wired connection 1 uuid=9762642c-bbc5-482d-a019-a9a20f13a550 type=ethernet interface-name=enp5s0 timestamp=1757116015 [ethernet] mac-address=F0:2F:74:DA:0C:51 [ipv4] method=auto [ipv6] addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy ip6-privacy=2 method=auto [proxy]
------ Additional tests made to check the network behavior with the initial config file: when only first NIC plugged in: config is fetched via DHCP and assigned to the primary NIC even though not in the config (it has the only active link) and the network is working. when the second NIC is also plugged in: not configured, just plugged in; the sytem sees two NICs with active link, the network fails to work - unplugging triggers NM to configure the primary NIC. This can cause a situation, that when the administration of a system is only remotely done and the second NIC is plugged in at a later time, the system becomes unreachable after a reboot because for the primary connection no device was assigned first. I shared this experience here: https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=163713 Otherwise, installation is easy, fast and smooth - system runs well. Even though the only line of the syslog file of the installation (that I can think of that is related to the issue)     Sep  5 23:46:00 finish-install: info: Running /usr/lib/finish-install.d/50config-target-network does not provide any useful information to this issue. I have attached the complete file.
