My understanding of bonding means both ends have to support it for a link since you are sending traffic over both links. Well it appears that in mode=1 operation bonding picks one link or the other (in which case the other end isn't involved) although I have no idea if this works with wireless. It does not switch back to the first link until the second link goes down apparently. I haven't used it, but that's what a quick google search seemed to indicate. > My router is "Belkin ADSL modem with wireless G-router" model # F5D7632-4. > It's a similar router like > http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=278082 > but I don't know if it supports bonding. I highly doubt it. Bonding (or trunking) is generally something higher end switches and routers support. And linux boxes. I am really wondering if network-manager couldn't do all this stuff for you much simpler. I know it can detect when cables are plugged in and manager wireless and such. If it could do that and assign the IP and only keep one interface up at a time, with priority given to the best one available, that would seem like it should do what you want. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
