Some very strange (to me) behavior of the Automatic Network Interface Selection when I log in. I've set the priority for the main ethernet connection to be bge0 (which is 192.168.1.100 on my personal network). I've disabled the vboxnet0 device. Yet, half the time when I boot up, it selects the (virtual?) wired VirtualBox0 adapter as the primary ethernet connection to the outside world, which has an 192.168.56.1 address; this of course doesn't work. I've disabled this adapter in that Edit Network Interface Priorities dialog box, yet like a zombie it shows up half the time upon reboot (and it really is about half the time; there isn't a consistent behavior).
Now, if I manually select bge0, then go to the terminal, switch to su, then run "svcadm restart nwam", everything switches back to the proper setup, and the connection always works. It's a bit bizarre that the behavior is not consistent, and kind-of a pain to have to switch every time I reboot. Any suggestions on how to fix this? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
