I set up the above file as below to get static IP on my wireless interface:
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
wpa-ssid "essid"
wpa-psk "password"
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
I even rebooted the PC. However, the wireless interface is still getting an address via dhcp in the range >192.168.0.100. Is there some error in the above syntax please?
systemctl status dhcpcd.service
