hello list,

i got a lan and a wlan card in my notebook and want to be able to plug out the
cable and let all traffic go over the wlan. when i plug in the the cable
again, the traffic should be transfered over the cable.


i tried to create 2 default routes by adding the second route manually (route
add default....). but there are still problems left:
- is it possible to define two default routes in /etc/conf.d/net?
- when plugging in the cable again, the wlan card is still used as the real
default route
- i cannot use mounted nfs shares after plugging out the cable


(both nic are in the same subnet (-> bridging))

what can i do to solve these things?

Yes, u can define more statical default routes, but it will not work
as u expect, since the first record which "fits" is always used ...
so if u have two default routes, the second one is useless.

In case u need dynamic routing (dependant on actual conditions)
u have two possibilities:

1. write some watchdog script, which will change the routing
  table in case something was pluged/unpluged  (sufficient for u)

2. use some routing daemon (used for big networks)
