I ran through the installer and got the system up and noticed it had no network connectivity. I looked at a few posts here and looked at /etc/network/interfaces and saw this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface usb0 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address 192.168.1.44/24
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge-ports usb0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 0

iface eno1 inet manual

iface eno2 inet manual

iface eno3 inet manual

iface eno4 inet manual

I changed the bridge from "usb0" to eno3 in the interfaces file and now I have connectivity (my machine has 2 NICs on eno3/4). I believe usb0 is something related to USB devices attached to the system, but I am somewhat of a linux noob. Assuming that's the case I don't get why it would default the bridge to this one.

My question is, does proxmox use the usb0 interface intentionally? Will this break something later?
