I'm not 100% sure if this will work in your situation and if it will provide the behaviour you desire, but here goes.
My server had a 10/100 NIC on board, and I added a 1000 NIC for backup purposes. I initially disabled the on board NIC, but during a night of surfing I came accross "Ifenslave". Basically it allows you to combine - or "bond" - multiple network interfaces into one, and present it to the network environment as a single adapter. In my case, I have 2 wired interfaces, if I pull one wire out of the switch, the other takes over. When I plug the other back in it joins the bond again and picks up where it left off. After reading your post, I started to wonder if this would work in your situation as well, and after doing a little Googling, it seems it may. Provided Ifenslave is available for your platform. I'm by no means an expert on this, but I can provide you with some links I used in the process: http://blog.buttermountain.co.uk/2007/09/14/redundant-bonding-of-wireless-and-wired-interfaces-in-ubuntu/ Found this after reading your post, it describes combining a wired and wireless interface into a bond. http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:Bonding Extended documentation on Ifenslave. http://pmjdebruijn.blogspot.com/2006/04/ubuntu-bonding.html Basic setup on Ubuntu, mine is pretty similar. http://www.howtoforge.com/network_bonding_ubuntu_6.10 The document I originally used to set mine up. As said, I am not sure if this will work for you, but if it does, then it should be able to do what you need it to. Only thing I was not sure about from your post is the way you connected your SqueezeBox to the network you described, nor have I tried connecting a SqueezeBox to both a wired and a wireless interface. Anyway, hope this helps you some. -- furonfour 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/wostu) - Chaos is the mother of all creation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ furonfour's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17114 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63444 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
