The wireless card is assigned eth0 and the NEthernet card is assigned eth1. I have set linux not to start either interface at boot time and have a series of menu entries in the main menu which allow me to bring either interface up or down as I wish. Here is an example of the commands I use in the main menu for eth1 - /usr/sbin/usernetctl eth1 up ( this menu entry brings the interface up) /usr/sbin/usernetctl eth1 down (this menu entry brings it down) Change the interface designator as appropriate for the interface you want to control. I have four of these entries to allow for control of the two interfaces. Note that the variable USERCTL=yes must be present in the ifcfg file for the interface you wish to control in this way. Here is my ifcfg-eth1 file - DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.98 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 ONBOOT=no GATEWAYDEV=eth1 TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=yes You'll see the USERCTL needed to allow the user to control the interface, and the GATEWAYDEV specifying this interface as the gateway device when it is active. I have found this a handy way to select the interface I wish to use from the main menu of KDE. Rick Kunath Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
