puuh this means you don’t have ip command as well as ifup?? This is more than bad as you will not be able to bring up the network interface without…

Still the question. Do you have a backup? As well can you check installation status of ifupdown package

```nohighlight
dpkg -l ifupdown

```

It should looks like this

```nohighlight
root@DietPi3:~# dpkg -l ifupdown
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

```

Looks like you hit the same situation like this user [https://dietpi.com/forum/t/removal-of-pi-hole-removed-ip-command-stuck-in-boot-net-wait/4976/1](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/removal-of-pi-hole-removed-ip-command-stuck-in-boot-net-wait/4976/1)
