Hi. I setup a PC Engines Alix box with a wired and wireless network interface. Both are in dhcp mode and up by default. In my test config both hook to a different network, so I get 2 default routes. I managed giving the wired route a higher precedence using iproute. Now my problem is with the following scenario: - start the box, both links come up - disconnect physically eth0 - connect to squeezecenter wirelessly: "Connect timed out: Transport endpoint is not connected" when requesting for internet resources (radio, firmware...) - I can solve the problem by issuing "ifdown eth0".
So it looks like ip route doesn't catch the "kernel: eth0: link down" events to change its default route preferences. I'm not at all used to iproute2; Would you see a way to make it conscious of the current situation, or for a script of mine to catch the kernel event and issue a formal ifdown ? I'm using debian lenny. Thanks in advance for any hint ! -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63444 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
