So have an issue getting the Raspberry Pi 4 (running the new Buster image) from releasing my eth0 interface to get an IP. It works fine with the wifi, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong?
My router is setup to use the RPi as a Pihole/Unbound server and the router itself has all the MAC addresses (the RPi included) assigned to a static local IP successfully. I have noticed under ipconfig (below) there's no ivp4 address like there is for the wlan0?
I've tried setting the eth0 manually to no avail, and also 'sudo update-rc.d dhcpcd disable' but that makes both network interfaces unusable until I enable it. If I hover my mouse over the taskbar it says 'eth0 link up: configuring'. My settings are as follows and any advice would be appreciated:
cat /etc/network/interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd
# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet auto
iface wlan0 inet auto
And also:
