One may want to use ifupdown for wired because it is more powerful than wicd, thanks to the "mapping" stanza. In such a case, one needs to disable wired completely in wicd, and then, I don't think it can autoconnect to wifi only when there's no wired connection. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
