I believe that should be allow-hotplug but since I'm still running jessie, it's possible this has changed in Ascii. > iface inet eth0 dhcp > > auto wlx2824ff1a1794 You might want to replace that auto with another allow-hotplug. > iface wlx2824ff1a1794 inet dhcp > wpa-driver nl80211 > wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf > > # ifconfig returns: > > eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > inet = 192.168.1.203 ... > ... > > wlx28924ff1a17894 flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > inet = 192.168.1.203 ... > ... > > I'm surprised to see both interfaces assigned an IP address even though > I'm currently using ethernet wired. Since you defined your usb interface in interfaces with auto instead of allow-hotplug, that doesn't surprise me. > > One problem is that no mail gets out.

Can't ping or browse the web (failure in name > resolution). You want to do ifdown eth0 and ifup wlx2824ff1a Did you read interfaces(5), ifup(8), and ifdown(8)?
