Aha! I guess that takes care of the problem I just complained about in the Arctic Fox forum.

Hi Tijatjj,

I tested my Fienix USB stick again today and my interfaces configuration works without any problems. Have you seen any error messages in the output of the command dmesg?

Thanks,
Christian

Here’s pics of what I get.i would not bother again except that it did work so something is wrong.just don’t know what it was running for at least an hour.did not drop off at all.if it’s the Ethernet pci card I’ll just get the one you’re using if that would simplify things.ok so someone gave me a temp solution but have to put in after reboot or disconnected, /sbin/dhclient -v -4 it is a manual input but works not permanent though.
