Hi,
My laptop has a wifi and a wired connection. Sometimes my wifi is
unreliable and does not work atall , so it is useful to plug in a cat5
cable instead. OpenBSD still tries to use wifi. I thought perhaps it
might time out and decide to use the wired interface, but it does not.
Th only solution is to su to root and rename hostname.wi0 then run
/etc/netstart. Not ideal for a desktop system for everyday use.
Can anyone think of a practical solution?
Thanks
Best Regards
Edd
maybe you could use 'ifconfig wi0 down' (that disables all the routes
configured to that interface)..? and than the whole traffic would be
passed through the 'wired' interface (assuming proper config on that
interface).
or
you could try to manipulate the routing tables via route(8).
take care..
