If that fixes a lot of intermittent issues - of course.

Just thinking loud:
What about making main.conf's 'Blacklist' changeable by a config
variable we can set ?
Autobuilder could have this as 'eth0' , we could ignore a different
interface easily then (or none).
Not sure if eth0 should be in the list by default for everyone ?

E.g. we set
meta-agl/meta-agl-core/recipes-connectivity/connman/files/main.conf:NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=vmnet,vboxnet,virbr,ifb,meth

In one case we grep or sed ...
meta-agl-demo/recipes-config/cluster-demo-network-config/files/cluster-demo-network-conf.sh:if
! grep '^NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=' ${CONNMAN_CONF} | grep -q $1;
then
meta-agl-demo/recipes-config/cluster-demo-network-config/files/cluster-demo-network-conf.sh:
sed -i "s/^\(NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=.*\)/\1,$1/" ${CONNMAN_CONF}
meta-agl-demo/recipes-connectivity/connman/connman_agldemo.inc:
sed -i 's/^\(NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=.*\)/\1,eth1/'
${D}${sysconfdir}/connman/main.conf

@Scott, whats your take ?

Best regards,
Jan-Simon

Hi Jan-Simon/Scott,

The attached change is going to break meta-agl:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/120/builds/1032

I think what OE-Core plans to do with a config file isn't unreasonable and it
does fix autobuilder intermittent failures that are driving us slightly crazy so
I'd really like to merge it ASAP really.

I think there should be options for sorting this on the AGL side. We probably do
need to make this change in kirkstone too.

Cheers,

Richard
