Are the Ethernet and WiFi connections on the same network? If so, only one will be usable. This is entirely normal, due to something called "metric". This represents the cost of using the connection and the lowest cost will be used. Use the "ip route show" command to see what the metrics are. On my notebook, WiFi is 600 and Ethernet 100, so Ethernet will be used. When the Ethernet cable is disconnected, only the WiFi connection is listed, with a metric of 600 and is used.
When you tell ping to use a specific interface, you have already overridden metric. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
