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.

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.
