Running Pi-star on ethernet only.

Post by AK7AN »

I am currently running a fully up to date Pi-Star on ethernet. My questions is how to you turn the wireless off so the unit is not constantly looking for a wireless network. I turned off Auto AP as it seems like all my other wireless devices were pinging this randomly.
The sys log shows this every few seconds.

Thank you for the help.I installed the ethtool, and I tried to insert that code into /etc/rc.local, but it is read only and won't accept the changes. I tried sudo also and still no write. I apologize for my ignorance with linux, but have the desire to learn more.
Thank you again

You need to type sudo rpi-rw to allow writing to the filesystem, then sudo rpi-ro after you're done.

Thank You Brian, Merry Christmas.

Upon trying sudo rpi-rw, I get the "command not found" message.

Raspberry pi 3b+, no monitor attached... I ran a syslog this morning and I am not seeing any of those messages. Maybe after the nightly reboot it resolved itself.
Thanks again
