Ok.
But traceroute does not work.
Can I make one to be automatically disabled when the other one connects? They are on the same network, it makes no sense to me. Not useful.
Why do you think traceroute doesn't work? Also, the interface with the lowest metric (Ethernet) will be used. Why is it necessary to shut down WiFi?
To save power.
- Ethernet uses considerably more power than wireless
It is usually the other way around. Either way, having both powered requires more power than powering only one.
- Idle wireless uses only a few mW
When maintaining AP connection it is not really idle.
- Connecting an ethernet cable is fine, but a power cable is not an option?
It depends. I have usually more Ethernet cables than power adapters matching particular kind of notebook.
Sorry, sounds like a strawman to me. But anyway, you /can/ disable it ...
But the system does not do it for you and some people request it. It's not completely unreasonable to maintain only one connection to the same network. Thanks Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
