1 I have both wired and wireless network interfaces configured:
2 box0 log # rc-update show|egrep 'enp3s0|wlp2s0'
3 net.enp3s0 | default
4 net.wlp2s0 | default
5
6 (1). Is there a way to instruct the system as to which network interface
7 to use, so it doesn't try to bring up the one not intended to be used at
8 boot time:
9 box0 log # egrep 'enp3s0|wlp2s0' messages

62 (2). sshd seems to start only if the wired interface is up. How do I
63 tell it start when the wireless interface is running?
64 box0 log # rc-status|egrep 'enp3s0|wlp2s0|sshd'
65 net.enp3s0 [
66 stopped ]
67 net.wlp2s0 [
68 started ]
69 sshd [
70 stopped ]

73 Thanks.
