[opensuse] NetworkManager and default route
Hello all, Is there a way to set the interface to be the default route in NetworkManager? My desktop (openSUSE 12.3 KDE 4.10.3) has two interfaces: (1) Wifi USB dongle which connects to my router (Internet/Intranet) and (2) Wired Ethernet port that connects to my NAS[1]. In this situation, the Wired Ethernet interface because the default route. I want/need the Wifi interface to be the default route. Both interfaces work (connect, tx, rx). However, I need to reset the default route using /sbin/route command. I cannot seem to find the setting in the NM widget in KDE. Cheers, Alvin [1] Ideally, I would connect the NAS (DLink) to the router instead. However, the USB dongle sucks and drops the connection due to poor hardware. This messes up transferring large/many files (e.g. Digikam) from the NAS over wifi. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

NetworkManager has "never-default" connection option (in GNOME GUI/nm-connection-editor it is under connection properties - IPv4/IPv6 tab - Routes - Use this connection only for resources on its network). I do not know whether KDE frontend exposes this. You can us nm-connection-editor utility to create or edit system connections. They will be visible in KDE as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Nevermind, I figured it out. In case anyone else has this issue, the route settings, in the KDE NM widget, are in the drop down box in the IPv4 tab. Select Routes and set the appropriate check boxes at the bottom of the tab.
