I have both wired and wireless network interfaces configured:
box0 log # rc-update show|egrep 'enp3s0|wlp2s0'
net.enp3s0 | default
net.wlp2s0 | default
(1). Is there a way to instruct the system as to which network interface
to use, so it doesn't try to bring up the one not intended to be used at
boot time:
box0 log # egrep 'enp3s0|wlp2s0' messages

(2). sshd seems to start only if the wired interface is up. How do I
tell it start when the wireless interface is running?
box0 log # rc-status|egrep 'enp3s0|wlp2s0|sshd'
net.enp3s0 [
stopped ]
net.wlp2s0 [
started ]
sshd [
stopped ]
Thanks.
