Add network interface troubleshooting guide

Document solution for IP address changes caused by dual ethernet ports:
- Identify three network interfaces (WiFi, eth left port, eth right port)
- Provide NetworkManager commands for static IP configuration
- Include step-by-step solution using "Wired connection 2" (enp4s0)
- Configure both ethernet and WiFi to use same static IP (192.168.0.100)

## IP addresses keep changing
Due to 3 interfaces:
* Wifi
* Ethernet left port (ThinkPad adapter) - Wired Connection 1
* Ethernet right port (regular ethernet cable) - Wired Connection 2
### Proposed solution
* Stick with wired2
● Configure static IP for "Wired connection 2" (enp4s0):
* Set static IP to 192.168.0.100
sudo nmcli connection modify "Wired connection 2" \
ipv4.method manual \
ipv4.addresses 192.168.0.100/24 \
ipv4.gateway 192.168.0.1 \
ipv4.dns 192.168.0.1
* Apply the changes
sudo nmcli connection up "Wired connection 2"
Then configure WiFi with the same static IP:
* First connect to your WiFi if not already
sudo nmcli connection up "Telekom-4b28df-2.4GHz"
* Set same static IP for WiFi
sudo nmcli connection modify "Telekom-4b28df-2.4GHz" \
ipv4.method manual \
ipv4.addresses 192.168.0.100/24 \
ipv4.gateway 192.168.0.1 \
ipv4.dns 192.168.0.1
Verify the configuration:
nmcli connection show "Wired connection 2" | grep ipv4
ip addr show enp4s0
This way both your ethernet (enp4s0) and WiFi will use 192.168.0.100, solving your dual interface IP issue.
