Hi Endians

Many Thanks for this distribution - looks awesome.

My Question resp. my problem is as follows:

I have 3 ports (eg. 3 NICs) on my system;
2 are RED / WAN (DHCP each) eth1 and eth2 - idea is to have two 2 isps  
for redundancy - if one is down,
the other one is still up...

1 is Green / LAN with all my clients in there. eth0

*****
Now, if i configure one Red (eth1 f.ex.), the green one eth0 and fire  
up, it works as a charme:
dhcp acquisation on red eth1 is done, i can ping and trace to wherever  
i want.
Now, as EFW 2.2-Rc1 allows me to have more than one red interface  
(outstanding!) i configure
through Network?>Interfaces>Create an uplink another uplink with eth2.

I then configure the type (Ether DHCP) say, that it is enabled,  
started on boot.
I active "if this uplink fails activate "main..." the update.
Same on eth1 vice versa (if uplink fails activate uplink1), update.

Problem 1:
The uplinkeditor then stalls (uplinkeditor.cgi is at 100% - top/shell)  
on 2 tested systems - all
the same - only a hard kill helps, uplinkeditor stays unreachable ever  
after.

Problem 2:
the uplinks do not take over automatically when i f.ex. take off eth1  
redethercable for testing.
eth2 is connected, but i no longer can ping/trace/web. if i de- 
activate manually (through system/home)
the main uplink on eth1 and vice versa, it works, but not  
automatically eg. if the main uplink fails
(simulated through a disconnected cable), the uplink1 should  
automatically take over, eth2 is disonnected
such way, and eth1 is connected it should work - but it doesn't here  
with me.

Or, f.ex. both red are connected (both with a diffrent ip from dhcp) -  
if main is disconnected, i'm no longer
able to ping, trace.... allthough uplink1 is connected. Etc..

I entered some routes for testing, but that won't change it.

I have tested this on 2 diffrent systems (with diffrent standard  
harware) - 2 times the same.

What am I doing wrong? Is there any howto? does this work somwhere? is  
this supposed to work
in this release? I saw, that the paid devices allready are on 2.2  
(final?) does this work there?

Is there a fix release schedule for 2.2 community stable or any new rcs?

Many thanks in advance for any replies or hints - anything concerning  
this toppic is appreciated.

Best regards
