[X4U] network setup

[Thomas W Noel]

Change the order of the listed active interfaces in the Network Port  
Configurations to have Built-in Ethernet listed first. It will then  
be the default if active, otherwise the networking will fall back to  
wireless. The system tries the available network interfaces in listed  
order.
