In Jessie we have connman - and it causes severe problems if you try to build a number
of identical embedded systems, connman will assign a new service name to each processor.
So the settings directory has to be handcrafted separately for each. Even if you have a static
ip which is the same in all of them.
I have been unable to find a reliable way to get back to the /etc/network/interfaces paradigm.
Can somebody help? I’m unexpectedly against the wall.
Are you talking about the eth0 name that get's auto-generated?
That would be systemd, we force "net.ifnames=0" on the cmdline to fix this..
debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo ifconfig -a eth0
eth0: flags=-28605<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC> mtu 1500

Or something else?, just "sudo apt remove connman --purge"...
Regards,
Can’t remove connman as the service will stop and ssh is dead. There might be a way to do things after disabling connman service but I don’t know what to do.
If you stop using conman, you can use /etc/network/interfaces, and that will give you a script you can use to configure all your network connections. If you use:-
man interfaces
it will tell you how to do it.
