Minimal install wireless and usb ethernet - pfeerick - 06-28-2017
WIP, this is just the skeleton.
On the minimal install of xenial linux, you will find that there is no handy network-manager to help you auto-configure stuff. However, it's not that hard to configure the wireless and usb ethernet manually once you know what the steps are
Wireless
- Create /etc/network/interfaces.d/wlan0
- Create /etc/wpa-supplicant/wpa-supplicant.conf
- Bring the interface up
USB Ethernet
- Plug in the USB ethernet cable (yes, obvious, but sometimes people forget)
- Check what name it reserves (ifconfig -a)
- Create a udev rule to make our lives easier in the future...
- Watch it auto connect if you have DHCP, or configure it 'normally' now via /etv/network/interfaces.d/eth0
