I installed it using my wired network. |

Another useful package to use is ifplugd, this allows you to |
| 6 |
automatically activate the appropriate network if it is plugged |
| 7 |
in/available. |
| 8 |
This allows you to switch from Wired to Wireless without it doing silly |
| 9 |
things like attempting to bring up an interface when it isn't connected, |
| 10 |
causing all sorts of routing issues and booting delays. |
