Hello the list
Can anyone point me at documentation of how the installer sets up
network interfaces, out of the several ways there are to do it?
I've done a couple of installs of Stretch, one when it was still testing
and one recently, on different hardware that both had both wired and
wireless network interfaces. In both cases I chose to install using the
wired interface even though for normal usage the computer will use the
wireless interface. The result in both cases was a machine that had its
wired interface configured but not its wireless one.
In both cases I can configure the wireless LAN using the desktop gui
widget (KDE in one case, MATE in the other) but then the wireless LAN
does not become available until someone logs in.
I'd like to be able to log in remotely before anyone logs in locally, so
need the wireless network interface up before login.
