mikegeezy Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I was using an Ubuntu VM to root my Xiaomi vacuum. I passed a USB wifi adapter to the VM so that I could connect to the vacuum AP. Then I connected my desktop to the same AP, SSH'd back into the VM and disabled the virtual ethernet interface ( ens1p0 I think) using ifconfig down. I tried to bring it back up while still connected through SSH, but it said it couldn't find it. So I rebooted the VM thinking I'll just drop back to the normal LAN, start the VM and everything will be fine. Now, I can't even access the WebUI. How is that possible? Disabling a network interface in a VM appears to have taken the network interface down on the host as well. Any suggestions on how to get it back up? Quote Link to comment
