Hello, I was wondering if someone knows the command to set the physical eth0 connection as the default to always use? Right now it seems to default to USB connection so i cannot get an internet connection.

I've never had to do anything different. If a live cable is connected
from the Beagle to a (DHCP) router/switch the Beagle goes through the cable
to reach the Internet.
I am a tad disappointed that PuTTY to the Beagle tends to follow the
USB link (which is what I use for routine power) and not up to the router
and back down. If I power it using a 5V wall-wart and remove the USB, then
it does find it via my router.

If you set your default gateway for the port from USB, then you can delete that and add the gateway for the eth0 port. This should direct traffic to the eth0 port.
You can verify this with 'ip route".
The other option is to use ifmetric and set the ports accordingly.
Ex: ‘metric 0’ - for eth0
‘metric 1’ - for usb
