Prevent eth0 on boot
by themanwhowas from LinuxQuestions.org on (#536YA)
Hi all
I've got a raspberry pi which is running Debian Buster (is it ok to post pi questions here?) and I want to have eth0 down until I call it with ifconfig eth0 up.
Only way I can get it to happen is to have a @reboot line in crontab with ifconfig eth0 down which brings it up during boot then puts it back down which is not ideal.
For the life of me I can not figure this out. Any help appreciated
Thanks
