Well I sort of do this allready I have a laptop that has the Potato distro on it, I use both ethernet and ppp, I am using the DHCP client in potato and it works great; if there is no ethernet connection, then no IP is assigned to the eth0 interface, essentially no route. I just use PPP normaly. -- *--* Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *--* Voice: 425.739.4247 *--* Fax: 425.827.9577 *--* HTTP://www.otak-k.com/~lawrence/ -------------------------------------- - - - - - - O t a k i n c . - - - - -
