41 Thanks Florian,
42
43 it *nearly* works.
44 The line
45 routes_MySSID="default via 192.168.2.1"
46
47 (adapted to my IPs)
48 doesn't seem to have any effect.
49
50 Only if I add
51
52 route add default gw 192.168.2.1 wlan0
53
54 to /etc/local.d/local.start
55 it does work.
56
57 I have no idea why the routes_MySSID=... line doesn't have any effect.
58
59 Helmut.
