Default settings Raspberry Pi /etc/network/interfaces
For my Raspberry Pi 3B model it was
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
These are the default settings I have for /etc/network/interfaces (including WiFi settings) for my Raspberry Pi 1:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
Assuming that you have a DHCP server running at your router I would use:
# /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
After changing the file issue (as root):
/etc/init.d/networking restart
