hi there, consider a notebook with two nic's: re0 (ethernet) and urtwn0 (usb wifi). let's say, at boot time there is ethernet connection and /etc/hostname.re0 contains "dhcp". urtwn0 is not plugged in.
later, i want to switch to wifi.
what i do: insert the usb wifi (/etc/hostname.urtwn0
contains the correct network data), i disconnect the
ethernet cable, route -n flush, ifconfig re0 down,
sh /etc/netstart.
what i expect: network is now through wifi.
what i get: urtwn0 gets an IP, but route shows that the
default route is still trying to go through re0, even if
i comment out dhcp from /etc/hostname.re0
how can i persuade the system to forget about re0?
how is this situation different for /etc/netstart than
booting up with the usb wifi inserted and an empty
/etc/hostname.re0?
what is the correct procedure in a case like this?
$ sudo route -n flush

question: why don't the re0 lines disappear from the inet6 lines
after ifconfig re0 down?
