The manual network setup in turn asks you a number of questions about your network, notably IP address, Netmask, Gateway, Name server addresses, Hostname, and a Domain name. Moreover, if you have a wireless network interface, you will be asked to provide your Wireless ESSID (“wireless network name”) and a WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase. Fill in the answers from Section 3.4.
Note: Some technical details you might, or might not, find handy: the program assumes the network IP address is the bitwise-AND of your system’s IP address and your netmask. The default broadcast address is calculated as the bitwise OR of your system’s IP address with the bitwise negation of the netmask. It will also guess your gateway. If you can’t find any of these answers, use the offered defaults — if necessary, you can change them by editing
/etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml (or /etc/network/interfaces - in case you switched from netplan to ifupdown) once the system has been installed.
