Q#2..... RatOS 2.1 v2.1.0-RC2-0-g3a587cf6 configurator and oem img config wifi.

I want/need to go back to my previous hard wire net connection, but also want to fix my IP as before. So am I just messing with RPi stuff.... or is there more buried as the ratos.local name connection is there. I want to edit (ssh no problem) the config but don't want to lock myself out or mess up future update paths.

Solution

already all fixed. All RPi level stuff. I minimize RF around here as much as possible. I prefer hardwired nets regardless. I know I know, tons of pros/cons on both sides. Machine name remains unchanged, Even shows up in Angry IP Scanner as '''RatOS.Local''', but back with my 2.0 install fixed hard wired IP and the RPi wifi disabled. all works as expected.... and hopefully should not break any future updates.

Anyone else needing the proc....
You can edit /boot/config.txt and add this two lines:
dtoverlay=disable-wifi
dtoverlay=disable-bt

at the end of the file
