knetworkmanager - I don't know if it's available for Debian yet, but there's a version for Ubuntu. With network-manager, the wired interface always takes precedence. You may find, however, that it lacks enough features for your configuration - it's working well for me with two wired and two wireless networks. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
