Hi all, Currently I'm using Network Manager on my laptop, which mostly works except when I want to ssh in from my desktop, and I'm not logged in on my laptop. Under those circumstances, the network isn't up.
What I really want (I think) is for my laptop to connect to known networks, either by wired or wireless, when it finds them, but allow me to connect (probably with a gui) to other networks manually when they're available. I also need to be able to connect manually to an OpenVPN VPN from time to time. Additionally, where wired and wireless networks are both available, and are the same, I'd like them to get the same IP address. (Addresses, in fact - at some point I should get IPv6 running too ...) I've seen suggestions to use bonding to achieve this, but I'm not sure how that works when wired and wireless are not always the same network. Are there standard tools that will let me do these things? I think Network Manager might not handle it. Whereami might, but I think it's been unmaintained for a while now. Any tips appreciated :-) Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected] Archive: http://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
