Hello Patrik, But shouldn't the gateway returned for each service be the route setup for the interface on which the service is running (at least display purposes)
ie. 192.168.1.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.6.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 wlan0 By looking up the service that is currently in the online state, i would be able to tell which is the default route (provided that only one service is in the online at any given time, which right now is not always the case). Of course, i should be able to get the gateway information using socket api's or something for my display purposes. But i believe connman would do a better job at it ;) Regards ~Sameer On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 6:03 PM, Patrik Flykt <patrik.fl...@linux.intel.com>wrote: > > Hi, > > On Mon, 2013-02-25 at 17:32 +0530, Sameer Naik wrote: > > I found that when i connect both the wired and wifi technologies (i.e. > > connect to a service for each), only one of them goes in the online > > state. > > Both will be never enter the online state under normal circumstances. > > > > eg. > > 1.
