# `VintageNetEthernet`
[🔗](https://github.com/nerves-networking/vintage_net_ethernet/blob/v0.11.2/lib/vintage_net_ethernet.ex#L1)

Support for common wired Ethernet interface configurations

Configurations for this technology are maps with a `:type` field set to
`VintageNetEthernet`. The following additional fields are supported:

* `:ipv4` - IPv4 options. See VintageNet.IP.IPv4Config.
* `:dhcpd` - DHCP daemon options if running a static IP configuration. See
  VintageNet.IP.DhcpdConfig.
* `:mac_address` - A MAC address string or an MFArgs tuple. VintageNet will
  set the MAC address of the network interface to the value specified. If an
  MFArgs tuple is passed, VintageNet will `apply` it and use the return value
  as the address.

An example DHCP configuration is:

```elixir
%{type: VintageNetEthernet, ipv4: %{method: :dhcp}}
```

An example static IP configuration is:

```elixir
%{
  type: VintageNetEthernet,
  ipv4: %{
    method: :static,
    address: {192, 168, 0, 5},
    prefix_length: 24,
    gateway: {192, 168, 0, 1}
  }
}
```

# `quick_configure`

```elixir
@spec quick_configure(VintageNet.ifname()) :: :ok | {:error, term()}
```
