RE: Issue with Auto eth0

["Hooker, Jonathan" <Jonathan Hooker garmin com>]

Ok. One more question... Is there a reason why I can not just create a file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections that has all of the right settings and NM just pick it up? I am having to change certain fields in the config and I just figured I could just use a perl script to replace the whole file...

Yes, that is also the default behavior. If both devices just need to use DHCP, then one connection data is enough and both devices can use it. There's a "MAC address" field in the connection editor to tie the configuration with specific device. If you require different connection settings, create two connections and specify the MAC address on both to lock the connection data to specific device.
