Hi all,
I've sucessfully setup a lagg0 interface on my laptop to fail the wired
connection over to wireless when it's unplugged.
I have the following in my rc.conf:
wlans_bwi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_bwi0="ether XXX"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA mode 11g"
cloned_interfaces="lagg0"
ifconfig_lagg0="SYNCDHCP laggproto failover laggport bge0 laggport wlan0"
This seems to work fine at boot. However, once I plug wired back in,
lagg doesn't switch back to the master. Here is what ifconfig is showing:
bge0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>

laggproto failover
laggport: wlan0 flags=4<ACTIVE>
laggport: bge0 flags=1<MASTER>
The handbook says lagg should switch back to master when it becomes
active again. I tried a few other things like taking wlan0 down manually
and even stopping the interface and restarting lagg without wlan active,
but this just hung my network connection. Even destroying lagg and
recreating by hand had no effect and lagg0 came back with the children
already attached (as seen above) so the system is caching that information
somewhere and lagg just won't let go of wlan...
I'm on 8.0-STABLE from about 4 Dec 2009.
Any ideas?
regards,
Callum
