Resurrecting Michael's post... The next release of AstLinux 1.2.1 will have a web interface configurable "WAN Failover" functionality...
WAN Failover http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:tt_wan_failover (Much thanks to Michael Keuter) All of the EXT2* rc.conf variables are now supported in the web interface. This seemingly simple feature, is not, to get all the edge conditions covered. Anyone interested in this feature is encouraged to to build from the SVN or use http://build.astlinux.org to get the latest SVN builds. I personally have tested this (somewhat old) WiFi-client, Netgear WNCE2001 N300 http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Universal-Ethernet-Adapter-WNCE2001/dp/B003KPBRRW/ as the Failover Interface and WiFi connected to my iPad w/LTE and Personal Hotspot enabled. I also have ordered a gizmo (for $99 USD)... Pepwave Surf On-The-Go (SUS-AGN1) http://www.peplink.com/products/pepwave-surf-on-the-go/ that should arrive today, but seems it could be configured ethernet -> to either an iPad w/LTE or a USB data modem from your wireless provider. If course a dedicated wired Failover WAN link would also work.
