to enable wired ethernet. I read somewhere than ifplugd can be used to do something like this.
Yes, ifplugd can do this. Here's how to set it up: - - Edit the configuration files for both interfaces under /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-* and set STARTMODE=manual - - Edit /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf and put both interfaces in INTERFACES - - Start ifplugd You may have a couple of problems: - - ifplugd cannot detect when my wireless interface goes up. I haven't had the time to figure it out. You might not have this problem - - dhcpcd will not set a default route if another dhcpcd is already running. I dealt with this by modifying /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action to look like this:: - ------ cut here ------ set -e if [ -z "$1" ] || [ -z "$2" ] ; then echo "Wrong arguments" > /dev/stderr exit 1 fi FAST_INTERFACE="eth0" SLOW_INTERFACE="wlan0" if [ "$2" = "up" ] ; then /sbin/ifup $1 # If this is the fast interface, we want to make sure the default route # is going through it if [ "$1" = "$FAST_INTERFACE" ] ; then if [ -r /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-$FAST_INTERFACE.info ] ; then . /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-$FAST_INTERFACE.info /sbin/ip route del default 2> /dev/null || true /sbin/ip route add default via $GATEWAY dev $FAST_INTERFACE fi fi fi if [ "$2" = "down" ] ; then /sbin/ifdown $1 # If this is the fast interface, we want to switch the default route to # the slow interface, if it's active if [ "$1" = "$FAST_INTERFACE" ] ; then # Is the slow interface active? /sbin/ip route | grep -q "$SLOW_INTERFACE" if [ "$?" = 0 ] ; then if [ -r /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-$SLOW_INTERFACE.info ] ; then . /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-$SLOW_INTERFACE.info /sbin/ip route del default 2> /dev/null || true /sbin/ip route add default via $GATEWAY dev $SLOW_INTERFACE fi fi fi fi exit 0 - ------ cut here ------ Hope that helps, - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBZXm04U2uQswGyDcRAs9DAJ9s+NX/j16X5dL7kDlTkLoY13cgSwCdEQdl yaF1vAb8v6JPjQ4TTG7AAoc= =kTS1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
