[opensuse-factory] Understanding new Ifplugd priority numbers for On Cable Connection
Hello all, I'm trying to understand the new settings for Network Card Set Up when setting up "On Cable Connection" and using Ifplugd priority numbers. If I set wlan0 to 1 and eth0 to 0. Which interface card will have the higher priority when it comes to network connection? wlan0 set to 1 eth0 set to 0 -- Cheers!

I had never noticed it before. My priorities where on a different part of the OS... So cable has higher priority. I need this to help some one on the forum. -- Cheers!
