When one lan interface is connected and you try to connect an other one,
often you can't connect to the Internet after that. You need to retry the
connection.

I suspect this bug is when a task (i.e. ntp, virus updater, ...) tries
to connect to the Internet through a socket using the first interface,
holds it open, the kernel won't reroute to the new one and you need try
to again.

Example: When a openvpn connection is made and initiation is okey, but you
can't connect to the Internet, through the openvpn-connection. Retrying it
and you can connect.

Example: When one wlan connection is up and you try to connect throught an
other one, you need to retry.

I have tested both examples with lftp trying to connect to an IP-address
and you cant' connect as long as lftp's socket is in effect.
