I have a server running Debian that has been connected to WiFi for a long time, but I have since moved it and given it a wired connection. It still seems to be using WiFi though, and in my router settings it shows up as connected through WiFi and not through ethernet.
Now I want to make sure that I can switch over from WiFi to ethernet directly from an ssh-connection so I won’t have to connect a screen to get direct access.
What is my best bet here? A lot of the tools I find used for different network operations are not pre-installed, and I don’t want to be installing just everything being suggested. Can I solve this by installing network-manager and using nmcli?
EDIT: I also want to disable the wireless card.
EDIT2: No eth-interface shows up when running ip link show, EDIT3: but r8169 0000:02:00.0 enp2s0: renamed from eth0 shows up in dmesg and enp2s0 shows up in ip link show, so I guess it is recongized then.
[SOLVED] EDIT4: I made the modifications manually in etc/network/interfaces, and now it seems to work.
I entered the following lines:
auto enp2s0
iface enp2s0 inet dhcp
And then it showed up in my router. I then continued to comment out the lines enabling the wireless interface, and after reboot it works fine still.
Even if you do not use or like this approach, learning tmux is quite easy and quick and super useful. Just that you executed commands do not end when your ssh session crashes, that you can collaborate. Just attach multiple ssh sessions to one tmux session and everything, even the input, will be sync. In advance you get windows and split screen in any terminal.
That sounds awesome
