Nothing fancy. I need WiFi for unrestricted outside access, and wired for internal servers access. So I just let wicd connect to the default WiFi AP, and then do: # udhcpc -q -s /usr/local/bin/udhcpc.script -i eth0 With udhcpc.script being (lightly edited): #!/bin/sh if [ "$1" != "bound" ]; then exit 0 fi ifconfig $interface $ip netmask $subnet # Access the mail server via the wired network when in example.net, since the # WiFi connection there is unstable if [ "$domain" = "example.net" ]; then for i in $router; do ip route add a.b.c.d via $i dev eth0 done fi > > When I have time I want to check connman (http://www.connman.net). > Thanks, Baruch, this looks interesting but I don't think that it is a > full-featured replacement for wicd. it is meant for embedded devices. I just want a tool to get the job done, i.e. configure the network interface(s), manage the routing table, and put something sensible in /etc/resolv.conf, or even better, manage the DNS itself. I don't want to fiddle with various iw* commands, and complicated routing rules, every time I move from one location to another. If connman can do this, I'll use it. baruch -- ~. .~ Tk Open Systems =}------------------------------------------------ooO--U--Ooo------------{= - bar...@tkos.co.il - tel: +972.2.679.5364, http://www.tkos.co.il - _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
