Finds network interface without configured IP address #14

Closed dmitry closed 2 years ago

dmitry commented 3 years ago

Problem: finds network interface name but not IP address. Reason: network interface (device) isn't configured for IP address. Solution: sudo dhclient -v $(dev) can be added on the second condition level on the line: https://github.com/jschmid1/gopro_as_webcam_on_linux/blob/be1d881e6f826922ad5341fdf7d229718d30961f/prepare_webcam.sh#L123

Hi @dmitry, that script is now deprecated. Nevertheless, thanks for the suggestion!

Hi @dmitry, that script is now deprecated.

Actually, this entire project seems deprecated, with the amount of comments here and elsewhere indicating this doesn't work, and has never worked, except in very narrow cases of devices and highly customized environments.

The top-level README.md should be updated to reflect this, so more users don't find this repo linked from various forums and blog posts, and end up similarly frustrated with these dead-ends.
