I have a BeagleBone Green board running Debian. It uses Connman as the network manager.
The configuration file should be /etc/connman/main.conf however this doesn't exist.
I have two active network interfaces connecting to the internet, a wi-fi interface wlan0, and ethernet interface eth0.
Which interface takes preference / priority in this case when communicating to the outside world? Where is this configured if there is no /etc/connman/main.conf.
Which interface takes preference / priority in this case when communicating to the outside world?
Priority should be set in the main.conf, you can create it manually.
Answer from Arch-linux wiki:
By default ConnMan does not prefer ethernet over wireless, which can lead to it deciding to stick with a slow wireless network even when ethernet is available. You can tell connman to prefer ethernet adding the following to
/etc/connman/main.conf:
[General]
PreferredTechnologies=ethernet,wifi
