You *ERR* <GRIN>
Neither of the Linux machines in front of me have any networking
connected.
One likely never will.
I was working on a project some time ago where there was active
consideration of how to *DEFEAT* networking on some donated machines.
Not everybody has access to wide-band internet access - which is
what is assumed for any mention of "networking". It is a
significant enough that apt-offline is actively maintained
[v1.7.1 released 2016-09-12].
I do admit the majority have ridiculously large speed demon well
connected machines.
That routinely causes problems for some of us ;{
