They both set to the same IP. ifconfig etc.
Now if I start it with the lan connected, the wire works. If no cable the wireless works, which is just perfect.
But if I ifdown eth1 (wireless), and then bring it up again, ifup etc, it stops working.
Or if I pull the pcmcia wireless card out and stick it back in, same story.
Now if I look at route, its because when I bring the wireless card back up, its route comes after the wire route in the table.
ie if I interrupt the wireless card and let the hotplug stuff do its work, it puts it after the wire route, they both have the same ip, so its snookered, the browser and whatnot start trying to use the wire, which isnt there.
I could just not touch the wireless card, but hey its fun pulling it out and showing curious people the wonders of wireless.
I could fix it, if only I knew how to delete a route in the table. route del -net xxxxxx netmask xxxxxxx dev eth0 does absolutely nothing.
How does one delete a route?
