Al There are 3 (among others) ways you can adjust your network settings. You can manually edit your /etc/network/interfaces file, you can use system/administration/network, or you can click the network-manager-applet in the top right part of your screen.
It sounds like you have a Wired and a Wireless lan that you want to bring up. I would suggest using the system/administration/network tool for this. Wicd, as mentioned by Jason, will likely and eventually replace the current tools. --scott On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 5:45 PM, Al Plant<n...@hdk5.net> wrote: > Aloha Gurus, > > I run FreeBSD servers and desktops and now I have an HP Mini 1000 netbook > with Ubuntu OS. > I have setup the /etc/network/interfaces : > > The manual connection works OK for my ATM circuit wired network, now I want > to set a second network config for my LAN wireless. > Any body on Luau had experience with a wired network link.
