Network always starts up "wlan0" although "eth0" is default

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!

As root:

leafpad /etc/lxpanel/slitaz/panels/panel

Options/Line Numbers

Line 87

Change

iface=wlan0

to

iface=eth0

File/Save/Quit

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

Config change is Line 88 here:
