HowTo: MESA Ethernet Board Network Config Using systemd was created by fletch
This is a quick HowTo on the quickest and least intrusive way I have found to configure the network for a MESA 7i96 (or other Ethernet?) board.
The systemd network service means no more editing ifconfig files or installing Network Manager. It appears to play nicely with wpa_supplicant.conf too.
1. Setup systemd networking to start at boot:
2. Start the services (going forward they will be automatically started at boot):
3. Create the config file (I am using 'vi' but any other text editor will do):
4. Add the following text:
Close the file (Esc :wq for vi)
That's it! Next time you boot, your MESA card will be configured.
If you want yo use it immediately then:
To get the status (sudo not required):
I'm using this on a Raspberry Pi, so along with wpa_supplicant.conf in the /boot it makes for a very easy network setup.

Thank you - y'know, I looked at that line with suspicion several times... There's always one, isn't there?
