--- Comment #37 from kevin vandeventer
Sorry, but it will never work properly to connect to the same network with two interfaces. Even when there are two default routes, the kernel will use only first one (one interface).
When you really want to use both at same time and same network config, you need several custom hooks (http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.html).
I think maybe you misunderstood. I don't want to use both at the same time. I want to use either or. I usually use wlan0 so I don't have to run a 50 ft ethernet cable to the router from my computer. But sometimes I need to use the ethernet cable, such as when I'm changing settings to the wireless router or if I need the added security of a wired connection. I also discovered that I can have the same problem in reverse. I did a clean install of Milestone 8 and only wlan0 was configured. Then I added the eth0 configuration and eth0 can't ping any websites, only the assigned ip address. I have never had this problem before, going back to openSUSE 10.0. It only popped up in the Milesone releases for 11.2. So I edited /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 and eth0 like the examples above and both interfaces are working now. Shouldn't YaST do this automatically when more than one interface is configured? Why haven't I had this problem in the past? Is this a problem with ifup but not with NetworkManager? Surely you don't expect new users to edit /etc/sysconfig/network by hand if they configure both wired and wireless interfaces. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
