Trying to install desktop causes "ip ioctl 0x8913 failed No such device" errro

This may or may not be the same issue as this one https://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/9079.

The proposed fix does not resolve the issue in my case:

<code class="text">
echo "rc_need=udev-settle" > /etc/conf.d/networking && lbu ci
</code>

I am using a bootable USB installation on an old laptop (x86 CPU)

Part I. Setting up the bootable usb (this part may not be relevant for the bug)

  1. Create an install usb from alpine-standard-3.8.1-x86.iso
  2. setup-alpine
  3. prepare the second usb using fdisk, mkdosfs and setup-bootable

Part II. Booting the new bootable USB (run-from-ram)

  1. setup-alpine
  • I set up wlan0 (eth0 is not configured)
  • I use the USB to store the apkovl
  1. Save changes

    lbu commit
  2. When rebooting, I have to

  • run wpa_supplicant /etc/wpa_supplicantwpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
  • and restart networking /etc/init.d/networking restart
  1. But when installing a desktop and rebooting, I cannot get the network up anymore

    setup-xorg-base
  2. On reboot you’ll see “ip ioctl 0x8913 failed No such device” and ip link show will now no longer show wlan0 even in down state as mentioned by bug #9079 (closed).

I didn’t try this on Alpine Edge (yet)

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have admin enable hashed storage. More information
