Debian - Hamachi taking over default IP routing

    I think I may have discovered the source of the problem, which was connman that was managing networks on my device. In some cases after a power cycle of a larger system, the BeagleBone could finish restarting faster than the device that was providing its ethernet connectivity to the internet. connman would see no ethernet available, then try and set up Hamachi as the main internet source instead. It wouldn't switch back to ethernet once it was available.

    The solution was to edit the file /etc/connman/main.conf and add Hamachi's 'ham0' interface to the list of interfaces connman would ignore.
