+Keep only a single connected technology at any time. When a new
+service is connected by the user or a better one is found according

+then add "ethernet" in the list.
+NOTE that if ethernet tethering is enabled, then a DHCP server is
+started on all ethernet interfaces. Tethered ethernet should
+never be connected to corporate or home network as it will disrupt
