Hi guys I'm back with a differend mail address, hope someone missed
me :-)
I tested both, but NM keeps shutting down wired NIC randomly, sometimes
is eth0, other times is eth1.
eth0 and ath0 are connected to the same access point, so it is sane to
inhibite eth0, but I have hundred services relying on eth1 (fixed IP,
internal network), half my system go upside down when eth1 lose its
address. I don't want NM to touch this interface, even it is unplugged.
Is it there a way to fix this?
With wicd is trivial to pair eth0 and ath0, but it runs wireless for a
few minutes, then it switches back to wired.
So I'm going to try wpa_gui...
Cheers
Francesco
