Description

The current version at the time of writing: UTM 4.1.5 (MacOS)

I typically use a USB network adapter but when I'm out and about I am sometimes only on wifi. Currently, at home, I set the Network Bridged Interface to my USB adapter and then when I'm out I change it to the wifi adapter. UTM will not start the VM if I don't remove the unplugged interface (understandably, as it no longer exists). A great feature would be to be able to set an interface as non-essential, such that if UTM doesn't detect it, still start anyway. Conversely, you could also have the ability to set specific interfaces as essential and not start without them. Hopefully, that makes sense.
