Same thing with the wireless eth1 connection. And in the end we don't get any internet.

Well it's all that's inside the files. As you could probably guess the
system would only search for the NUS network in all instances. If we
connect it to another point where there's some other network/service
provider,it still looks for the same NUS network instead of accepting
new settings!
