Hi Bart,

I think it would be useful to check the log files on the SD card using another
computer, after waiting for some time.

There should be 3 partitions, and the 3rd one is the root filesystem. If you
search in /var/log/syslog for "NetworkManager", that could help to diagnose the
problem.

Here's an example of the logs to look for (interface name and addresses will be
different):
