Nothing fancy. I need WiFi for unrestricted outside access, and wired for
internal servers access. So I just let wicd connect to the default WiFi AP,
and then do:
# udhcpc -q -s /usr/local/bin/udhcpc.script -i eth0
With udhcpc.script being (lightly edited):
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" != "bound" ]; then
exit 0
fi
ifconfig $interface $ip netmask $subnet
# Access the mail server via the wired network when in example.net, since the
# WiFi connection there is unstable
if [ "$domain" = "example.net" ]; then
for i in $router; do
ip route add a.b.c.d via $i dev eth0
done
fi

I just want a tool to get the job done, i.e. configure the network
interface(s), manage the routing table, and put something sensible in
/etc/resolv.conf, or even better, manage the DNS itself. I don't want to
fiddle with various iw* commands, and complicated routing rules, every time I
move from one location to another. If connman can do this, I'll use it.
