# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
# auto enp1s0
iface enp1s0 inet dhcp
# Wildlife

wpa-ssid *********
wpa-psk *************
# Wildlife Belkin
# iface wlp2s0 inet dhcp
# wpa-ssid ***************
# wpa-psk **************
[end quote]
I have thought about commenting out the whole of:
# The primary network interface
# auto enp1s0
iface enp1s0 inet dhcp
However, if it slows down connecting to the net to leave it like this,
its hardly noticeable and quick to just bring it up if
wifi/wpa-supplicant doesn't work.
As you say an annoyance when it doesn't do what one expects.
