What's your use-case that needs BOTH to be active at the same time?
Or if that is not the case, please give a better explanation, because that seems to be how its coming across.
My interpretation of documentation from the yast2 GUI was that if the "Snartnode" was set to plugd, and the priorities were wet to that the cable that preference over wifi, the wifi would run until a cable was plugged into the Ethernet port. The the cable would then be active and the wifi would go to the background. The hardwired port state is setup-in-progress, which I assumed was waiting for the cable to be plugged in. My intent is to have both interfaces in my machine, with the wifi active until I plug a cable into the Ethernet port. The cable usually has better bandwidth, so I wanted it tpreemptmt the wifi when available.
I hope I did not read this incorrectly.
Well, you've jumped in the deep end with that. perhaps the reason I make progress albeit slowly is that I don't bite things off in big chunks. I do 'incrementalism'. If I were faced with that I would first get wired working with wifi completely out of the picture. Then I'd get wifi working with wired completely out of the picture. hey! Wait up! That EXACTLY what I *DID* do! OK so it was the days before wikd, but never the less. The point here is that I *KNEW* for certain what did work as components before trying to combine them. Have you established them BOTH individually as components? Have you established that you can switch between them manually with both configured? I could live with manually disabling wifi when I plugged a cable in. As i said, my use-cases are sufficiently differentiated between home(=wired) and not-home(=wifi) that manually switching is not a big issue, not a deal breaker. Do think about your actual use-case as opposed to a hypothetical. How often, where, when, why, will you be running on wifi then suddenly an Ethernet connection appears? Will manually switching make life impossible for you? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
