Thanks Florian. I really appreciate the help. It was enough to get |
| 29 |
things working after I realized I have a mind block about routes. This |
| 30 |
email is coming to you over wireless so things are alright now, but I |
| 31 |
have some confusion about switching between networks: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Looking here: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
slinky ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/net |
| 36 |
config_eth0="192.168.1.55 netmask 255.255.255.0" |
| 37 |
routes_eth0="default via 192.168.1.1" |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
modules="wpa_supplicant" |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
config_wlan0="192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0" |
| 42 |
routes_wlan0="default via 192.168.1.1" |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
slinky ~ # |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I specified routes for both eth0 and wlan0 thinking Gentoo would use |
| 47 |
the one thats up, but it doesn't. It seems that even when I shut off |
| 48 |
eth0 it still tries to use the eth0 route. To get his working I had to |
| 49 |
comment out the eth0 route completely. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
So, is there a way to point the default to 192.168.1.1 and have the |
| 52 |
network use the one interface that's up? |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Also, is there a way to have the system use wireless anytime he wired |
| 55 |
connector isn't hooked up, of do I manually have to switch to root and |
| 56 |
then do |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop |
| 59 |
/etc/init.d/net.wlan start |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
to switch over? |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Anyway, it's working so that's a big step forward. |
| 64 |
|

THANKS!!! |
