====== Networking ======

Networking is horribly fucked up and quickly getting worse.

===== Static IP, not relying on GUI =====

''networkmanager'' will just get in the way and fuck everything up every chance it gets.  Make sure at minimum there are no profiles set in the GUI.  If active it will nuke ''/etc/resolv.conf'', which fucking sucks because that breaks everything.

Set basic configuration in ''/etc/network/interfaces'':

<code>
auto enp2s0
iface enp2s0 inet static
  address 10.0.0.1
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 10.0.0.2
  dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8
</code>

''dns-nameservers'' probably does nothing, of course.  You need

    nameserver 8.8.8.8

in ''/etc/resolv.conf'', and you might as well put it in ''resolve.conf.default'' as well for next time something fucking nukes it.

**Next attempt**: ''apt-get remove network-manager'' and why the fuck not ''chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf'' for the sheer JOY OF IT.  Note that ''network manager'' symlinks ''resolv.conf'' to its own bowels, so that needs to be replaced before ''chattr'' will work.

Want to figure out what the fuck is going on with ''ifconfig''?  HA HA, YOU CAN'T BECAUSE WE DELETED IT.

    apt-get install net-tools
    
or get with the programme and figure out what the fuck ''ip'' does.  Don't google, because it TURNS OUT THAT "IP" ACTUALLY MEANS A ZILLION OTHER THINGS ALL MORE INTERESTING THAN SOME TURD THAT PEOPLE JUST WANT TO REPLACE WITH IFCONFIG.
