Hello all,

I'm trying to understand the new settings for Network Card Set Up when setting up "On Cable Connection" and using Ifplugd priority numbers.

I don't think those are exactly "new", but still...

...from /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template:

## Type: integer(0:100) ## Default: 0 # # All interfaces with STARTMODE=ifplugd and with IFPLUGD_PRIORITY != 0 will be # used mutually exclusive. If more then one of these interfaces is 'plugged' # then we need a way to decide which interface to take up. Therefore we have to # set the priority of each interface. # Note: Connection detection of wireless devices is not very reliable. # Therefore we currently simple consider a wlan interface as always connected. # With a lower priority as all other interfaces it will then be set up if no # other connection is established. # A value of 0 means no priority set. # IFPLUGD_PRIORITY=

In my setup, interface "cable" had prio 20 and interface "air" had prio 10 before I switched to NetworkManager many moons ago...

I had never noticed it before. My priorities where on a different part of the OS... So cable has higher priority. I need this to help some one on the forum. -- Cheers!
