As for ethernet, it is possible, but you would have to write a script to configure the network and either run at boot or as a service (useful to reconnect maybe) depending on your network setup.
Let me know if you have questions for how to do it. The base system is tinycore linux which is quite different from other distributions in many ways.
Hello Sean,
Thank you for your reply. WIFI activation upon booting is a problem it happens only occasionally and I cannot understand why. I managed to ssh my RPI3 through ethernet by editing the cmdline3.txt file, I added "ip=169.254.20.20" at the end of the line. then i configured my PC ethernet connection IPV4 "local network only". From there I could ssh tc@169.254.20.20 and access the web interface. From there if i go to configuration/WIFI configuration and press "submit" the WIFI starts up on the pypilot and I can ssh or browse both IP address the same way (169.254.20.20 or 192.168.14.1).
If I restore the original cmdline3.txt file on the SD card the WIFI does not launch. I have checked networking.txt and it is OK ( "Master", SSID "pypilot", no password). If I keep the modified cmdline3.txt the RPI waits for the ethernet connection to complete booting...which is not very convenient...
