I've done a neat script for my laptop that distinguishes when I'm |
17 |
using wifi (ifconfig "sees" the ath0 interface) and in that case |
18 |
uses ath0 to get an ip-adress via dhcp and serves whatever systems |
19 |
are on the wired side (eth0) as dhcpserver and do the masquerading for |
20 |
them. |
21 |
When my wifi card is not inserted (or switched off for built in |
22 |
wifi's?), my laptop acts as a client on the eth0 side (getting an |
23 |
ip-adress as dhcp-client). |
24 |
All iptables-stuff is changed according to the situation. Run this |
25 |
script in the boot level because it changes the default level stuff! |
26 |
You problably have to change things w.r.t. ip-adresses and iptables |
27 |
preferences. |

Have fun with it! |
