If an interface does not appear in ip link list (or ip a), the most likely reason is that the kernel does not know about your network card. You should use lspci -k to determine the card model and the kernel module to use, then include that model in kernel's configuration. > > I first followed the method in the LFS book of creating .link files for *eth0* > and *wlan0* followed by disabling systemd-networkd for use with Network > Manager instead since I was building for GNOME.

I think the reason is that the units do not find the interfaces...

Could be a wrong keyboard setting, so that you do not type what you believe you type.
