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)
- Create an install usb from alpine-standard-3.8.1-x86.iso
- setup-alpine
- prepare the second usb using fdisk, mkdosfs and setup-bootable
Part II. Booting the new bootable USB (run-from-ram)
- setup-alpine
- I set up wlan0 (eth0 is not configured)
- I use the USB to store the apkovl
-
Save changes

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
-
But when installing a desktop and rebooting, I cannot get the network up anymore
setup-xorg-base

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