Description

Installation of The Combine on a laptop for offline usage requires the laptop to be plugged in to ethernet. When the installation is complete, the ethernet can be unplugged. However, if the ethernet is connected via a USB adapter (if the laptop doesn't have an ethernet port), then when the ethernet is unplugged from the adapter, the adapter has to remain plugged in to the USB port for The Combine's wifi hotspot to start when combinectl start is run. The adapter can be removed once combinectl status shows everything up and running.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the offline installation and running combinectl start with the USB Ethernet adapter removed from the laptop. Check combinectl status after startup and compare behavior with the adapter still plugged in. Done means the Wi-Fi hotspot starts without requiring the adapter to remain connected.
