NetworkManager is likely the backend that's handling that for those |
14 |
particular distros, unless networkd got a massive overhaul since I |
15 |
last saw anything on it. I recall wicd filled that role seamlessly |
16 |
enough last I used it as well, but it's fallen a bit by the wayside. |
17 |
Even the basic init-script/openrc configured networking is capable of |
18 |
the job with the right settings, though. If I recall, sys-apps/netplug |
19 |
or sys-apps/ifplugd will provide 'hotplug' style configuration on |
20 |
dis/reconnect of a wire, and grouping that with 'disable/enable wifi' |
21 |
calls when the wired interface goes up/down will make it behave that |
22 |
way. |

From a quick search, this page should give more details on the |
25 |
slightly less auto-magic approach: |
