multiple network interfaces...and a ghost
after a system update and a new kernel I rebooted.
all seemed fine but the network would not connect...
Debian Mate, network install, it just works and I never have messed with
the settings.
not a clue what was going on.
long story short, messing around a live USB did log in fine.
I decided to try a fresh netinstall alongside and Boom:
===
multiple network interfaces
eno1: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I218-LM
enp5s0: Intel Corporation 1210 Gigabit Network Connection
enx00e04c534458: Unknown Interface
===
the first two are old hat, I use eno1 and it just works.
bottom line I opened the Network Connections tool, found those three,
none were selected.
I selected eno1 and all is good.
what about this mystery "Unknown"?
do I have a pending hardware failure?
