Re: How do I turn the radio in a pi 3b off
Yes, I uninstalled network manager and wicd from synaptic, should have
mentioned that. Especially don't trust wicd.
If you rename your /etc/network/interfaces file to something else as a
backup, then make a new one that's like:
---------------
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.17
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
----------------
It should bring up just your wired ethernet on 192.168.0.17 on every
boot. ifup and ifdown should still work with it. Change IP and
network as needed, that's copied from mine.
