As root:

Line 87
Change
iface=wlan0
to
iface=eth0

If this is not a full install run tazusb writefs gzip to save the change.

Config change is Line 88 here:

Hello everyone,
i just installed SliTaz 4.0 and everything is great, except one issue I have:
when I boot up the system, the network connection always defaults to "wlan0". But I don't have a wireless connection. After a few seconds, "eth0" also becomes available. So I choose it. and it works fine. But I'd really like the system to default to "eth0", because it's annoying to always manually change it. And the computer is for a friend, who really has no idea how to do something like that.
The network config-file has "eth0" as default and wifi disabled on boot-up. So any idea how i could make this work?
Thanks in advance!
