The problem I have is that the OS doesn't know to switch, both get an IP address but won't switch the routing from eth0 to eth1 (or vice versa). So I have to manually shut down the adaptor I'm not using and restart the other which is a little annoying as my fellow co-workers using the same laptops but with Windows don't have this problem as it knows to use what ever network is available?
Can't you just use the switch on the side of the laptop to turn ON the wireless when you want it? In the USA all laptops with embedded wireless nics have to have a switch so they can be turned off on airplanes. Lots of people don't know what its for, but its always there. In my configuration, when I turn that on, the hotplug stuff jumps up and starts the wireless, and it used dhcp, and dhcp resets the default routes. I think you need a line in your /etc/syconfig/network/dhcp file that says DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE="yes" (Don't recall if yast makes that entry or not). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
