| Ethernet is a relatively generic term that mostly means "wired internet". WiFi is wireless, ethernet involves some sort of wire (usually an RJ45 style jack with copper cables inside).
| | #REDIRECT [[Configure_Networking#setup-interfaces]] |
| | |
| When [[Installation|installing]] Alpine linux, the <code>setup-alpine</code> script should have given you the option to setup ethernet/networking. If you need to setup ethernet after installation you can use [[Alpine setup scripts#setup-interfaces|setup-interfaces]] script.
| |
| | |
| == setup-interfaces ==
| |
| | |
| Start the script by running this command: {{Cmd|# setup-interfaces}}
| |
| | |
| Available interfaces are: eth0 wlan0.
| |
| Enter '?' for help on bridges, bonding and vlans.
| |
| Which one do you want to initialize? (or '?' or 'done') [eth0]
| |
| | |
| choose <code>eth0</code> (or your Ethernet device, Ethernet devices usually start with <code>e</code> )
| |
| | |
| if asked:
| |
| | |
| <code>Ip address for eth0? (or 'dhcp', 'none', '?') [dhcp]</code>
| |
| | |
| choose '''dhcp'''
| |
| | |
| Now it will ask <code>Do you to do any manual network configuration? (y/n) [n]</code>
| |
| | |
| unless you need to do manual network configuration choose '''n''', if you need to do manual network configuration choose '''y''' and it will open the <code>/etc/network/interfaces</code> file.
| |
| | |
| == Configuration ==
| |
| | |
| The above script generally configures Networking service by adding the networking service to boot run level and starts the service.
| |
| | |
| If for some reason, this needs to be done manually, here are the steps:
| |
| To '''start''' (or '''restart''') the networking service: {{Cmd|# rc-service networking --quiet start &}}
| |
| To add networking service so that it starts on boot: {{Cmd|# rc-update add networking boot}}
| |
| | |
| == Troubleshooting ==
| |
| Sometimes an ethernet interface will not be detected by the installation media. In this case, you may have to use an alternate interface for installation (e.g. a usb to ethernet adapter) upon which after install / reboot the interface will display. You may also try installing any missing packages that contain the drivers.
