My thinkpad T22 has both a built-in NIC (Intel etherpro) and a PCMCIA Linksys WPC54G rev 2. I've figured out how to use ndiswrapper and the linksys ndis driver and I can connect using either interface, via DHCP or static. BUT I have to manually fool around with the network configuration when I need to change which NIC I'm currently using.
Is there a way to configure both NICs and have it use whichever it can find connected, or am I stuck reconfiguring everytime I change arrangements? Windows can do this automatically, so there must be a way to do it here, I'm sure... but I can't find it. Pointers?
Mike-
I don't really know much about it, but I think what you're looking for is "ifplugd" -- some kind of a daemon that makes alterations to the network config of a running system, according to interfaces plugged in and the like. I don't know much about it, though, besides that it exists.
