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

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
