Kills ethernet on Rpi 2 B using wifi adapter

[vinay0410]

After, running this script, my hotspot is finally made. Thanks a lot for the same. But, suddenly my ethernet dies, now I cannot use internet on my pi. Is there a fix to solve the same. ifconfig doesn't show an eth0.

Look at /etc/network/interfaces. Is there a line saying "wireless-power off"? Changing that to on (and rebooting) solved the problem for me. I don't know why it affects LAN but says "wireless", but it does. There's also a line "auto eth0", if it's something else for you, change it to that. Disclaimer: I'm not sure if that fixes it 100%, I had some problems before where LAN didn't work after every boot, but now I don't know if I still have that problem, because my Raspberry reboots every time the LAN adapter is disabled.

Thanks for replying. I had no line stating wireless power off. But I did have a line called auto lo and changing that to auto eth0 didn't work.

Screenshots of /etc/network/interfaces file and output of ifconfig are attached below:

Also, I would like to state that after running this tool by dhcpcd service was stopped, and couldn't be started. According to my experience stopping of dhcpcd service might sometimes turn off LAN.

Oh no, I didn't mean that line. Here's my version of the file:
