[SOLVED] Ethernet not coming up in Ceres

Hi,
This is on a HP-8770w Elitebook laptop.
Running Ceres and isn't connecting eth0 to use the wired network.
The wifi does work, though I want the internal nic as its faster for large datasets.
The internal nic and network do indeed work, both run well in bootable Devan Live.

Thanks in advance with your help with this frustrating problem!

The OS:

$ cat /etc/devuan_version 
daedalus/ceres
$ cat /etc/debian_version 
12.0
$ uname -a
Linux beanz 6.1.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.27-1 (2023-05-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Some info on the nic and config files:
Using as "eth0" in Network Manager.

$ sudo cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/eth0.nmconnection 
[connection]
id=eth0
uuid=dc36b218-f0c6-4c3d-bd29-b47860b78a36
type=ethernet
autoconnect-priority=1
interface-name=eth0
