Change Network Adapter

[speede2020]

I have several different network adapters stored in the system and unfortunately iVentory automatically takes the wrong one (VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet1) and not the physical LAN or WLAN interface.

Please add function to change the network interface.

Thanks

Hi, i actually discovered something while trying to understand iVentoy. It simply doesn't support WLAN interfaces. If you are also using a LAN interface, you may try to disable the adapters through the Control Panel: (it should be called Network Adapters or something like that)

I was about to open a new issue for the wireless interfaces. As you can see below, iventoy can only use wired ones, but this laptop has no wired interface. For the same reason, disabling the vmware interfaces results in a message saying

No ip address detected. Attention that iventoy only supports wired network, wireless network is not supported

I think the only solution is to get a USB-C/USB-A to Ethernet so you can plug a wired interface to your computer (or either using another spare computer with ethernet and use iventoy there)

For the same reason, disabling the vmware interfaces results in a message saying

No ip address detected. Attention that iventoy only supports wired network, wireless network is not supported

Since you disabled the VMware adapters, iVentoy probably cannot find an enabled wired interface

Honest question. Leaving iventoy aside, if I had a pxe server on a machine that only has a wireless interface, would it be able to support devices that connect via ethernet on my network? I had created one with dnsmasq and tftpd, like 10+ years ago, but the server was indeed connected to my network via ethernet.

On paper, it should since stuff like AIO Boot and TinyPXE does work with WiFi (if I'm not wrong).

Actually i'm not that expert with networking so i'm not sure about that 😅

I am not an expert either, but there are no apps like tinypxe or serva for linux, so you have to set up a pxe server the hard way. :D Tbh, I am really happy that iventoy is so easy to use, despite that it needs root rights to run.

I also don't have a physical network adapter in the list

Well, technically Virtualbox, Hyper-V and Radmin's virtual adapters are enabled network interfaces that are technically connected to the Internet too, so iVentoy chose them since they meet these requirements (as far as i know, i don't know if iVentoy actually does that kind of control)
