It's being overwritten by your DHCP client, which is the expected |
| 10 |
behavior. As long as your setup is such that your wireless card always |
| 11 |
uses DHCP, and your wired card never uses DHCP, you can configure the |
| 12 |
Gentoo networking script to do the right thing depending on which |
| 13 |
interface you're starting up. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
In your /etc/conf.d/net setup, add variables for: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
config_eth0 = ( "w.x.y.z/nn" ) |
| 18 |
dns_servers_eth0 = ( "w.x.y.z", "w.x.y.z" ) |
| 19 |
dns_domain_eth0 = "my.domain" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
This will work as long as you manually stop and start the interfaces |
| 22 |
when you switch adapters. The net.eth0 startup script will write out a |
| 23 |
new resolv.conf, etc. |
