The network I'm on at the moment hands out DHCP addresses. But, sometimes, I'll hard-code the IP address for the computer (with ifconfig: ifconfig (eth0--but in this case) enx687f74158a8a 10.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0; route add default gw 10.x.x.x). Since this is a new install of Stretch, I haven't been able to download the ifconfig package; and if I type ifup enx687f74158a8a (or for my wireless card, wlp1s0), I get: "unknown in- terface. So, I'm in between a rock and a hard place (I can't configure the interface, and I can't connect to a network to download the package that will let me configure the interface). In case it would be of value, here's my lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series SoC Transaction Register (rev 0e) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display (rev 0e) 00:13.0 IDE interface: Intel Corporation Atom Processor E3800 Series SATA IDE Controller (rev 0e) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx, Celeron N2000 Series USB xHCI (rev 0e) 00:1a.0 Encryption controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Trusted Execution Engine (rev 0e) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series High Definition Audio Controller (rev 0e) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Atom Processor E3800 Series PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev 0e) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Power Control Unit (rev 0e) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation Atom Processor E3800 Series SMBus Controller (rev 0e) 01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Any help is appreciated.
