hopefully this is the last update: thinking that the dummy router is truly dumb and not really doing anything, i decided to pull it out of the system and wonder of all wonders, everything still works! so, ultimately, entire solution hinged on changes to /etc/dhcpcd.conf addition of gateway for eth0 and metric for wlan0. that's it... jivelite handles mobile hotspot disappearing/appearing just fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pavowren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51958 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109789 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
