Solved make OS choose Ethernet not Wifi

B

Buggzy...

In process of installing 11.1 over 10.0 ...
- so need to download iso Image files ....

- wpa_supplicant gets wifi up and running fine ..

- Just added an ethernet cable but how to get it to hookup at boot?
- How to make OS choose Ethernet instead of Wifi when Ethernet cable hooke up?
(kind of short leash so need both).

You'll need to comment out the wifi stuff in /etc/rc.conf and configure it to use ethernet instead (easy way) https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/linux-users/network.html

, or you can configure a lagg interface in order to use ethernet and failover to wifi (not as easy to configure, but a better solution if you frequently switch between wired and wifi connections...) https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-aggregation.html
