I as many other do have a laptop that has wired and wireless networking as standard but sometimes i need to use a Mobile broadband dongal USB what is needed is an easy way to completely stop the wired and wireless networking to use the mobile system , The reason for this is that if wireless is disconnected but enabled then you can not get a route via the mobile connection you have to completely disable the wireless to use the mobile and easy way to do this is a much needed addition a means of picking which networking device is active .
Isn't this a job for the NetworkManager?
It fails miserably if it is supposed to do it always has done ,
Are you sure? It works just fine here for me in my testing with my devices, I do this all the time with my laptop. Just disable wireless from the icon menu and all should be fine.
It would seem there is need for a complete re-think of the networking control system it has been of questionable quality for a while now but this issue has highlighted yet another issue that needs resolution
What, you want something like ConMan? Heh, good luck :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
