<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">Hello,</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I have a box running KDE on Debian Testing (Stretch) which has an Intel on-board gigabit ethernet (listed during installation as enp0s25) and a cheap PCI gigabit ethernet card (listed during installation as enp10s10). I expect one to carry a higher data rate (only from multiple IP security cameras configured on a single isolated network) than the other, (to be used for general connection and monitoring), so I opted to use the PCI card as the primary interface.</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I could not find the onboard ethernet on any existing file, and want to add and configure it to use at least IPv4 with a fixed address, and optionally IPv6. NetworkManager is installed by default, which is supposed to make things easy, with a variety of helpful commands, but I find it just complicates everything, yet if I do not use an approved configuration procedure any settings are likely to be lost if NetworkManager is updated. Am I alone?</p>
