Hi,
the wireless interface before I get a connection. Is there any IF priority setting available in Debian? What I'd like to do is tell Debian to use the wired interface when both are available.
There are, as far as I know, three ways to do this : - dirty hack to automatically ifdown wlan0 before eth0 goes up (using pre-up stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces). There may be more complicated things using a lockfile for example. - using ifmetric to route traffic through the cable instead of the wireless NIC. - using the bonding kernel driver as suggested[1] once to prioritize the cable. I could not make it work with wpa_supplicant and ipw2200 though, but in my view, it feels like the perfect setup for a laptop. Sorry I cannot help more...
