ip address | grep "BROADCAST" | cut -d' ' -f2 | cut -d':' -f1

wlp2s0

I think that is a wireless device ... I want ethernet

`ip route' gives no output at all so cannot pass it on

Also since I posted this query I discovered `ip link' too.

  `ip link' also shows the same wireless device



I have wireless turned off at the keyboard but the last address this
laptop had was a wireless address.

How can I dredge up or create an ethernet device?

I guess it is passe these days but:

I'm pretty sure ifconfig would dredge it up if it were available but I
guess that is old fashioned.


Just for completeness the hardware is Toshiba satellite NB 15t series.
