To be able to install mobotware===

DNSMASQ

Install DNSMASQ

sudo apt install dnsmasq

allow dnsmasq to provide IP to pear-to-pear networks Edit the /etc/dnsmasq.conf and change/add the following line (for eth0)

dhcp-range=eth0,192.168.0.100,192.168.0.150,12h

To work, the eth0 must have an IP, if noone provides one, change /etc/dhcpcd.conf (dhcp client deamon) to have a default IP, if no DHCP server is available

Add the following lines at the end of /etc/dhcpcd.conf

# define static profile
profile static_eth0
static ip_address=192.168.0.2/24
static routers=192.168.0.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1

# fallback to static profile on eth0
interface eth0
fallback static_eth0 

# define static profile
profile static_eth1
static ip_address=192.168.1.2/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
#static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1

# fallback to static profile on eth1
interface eth1
fallback static_eth1

This will also give a default IP for an eventual second network (usb-to-cable) if needed

Used as DHCP server for pear-to-pear communication with a PC.
