Though, this shouldn't really be a problem (in a perfect world scenario). A device with multiple connections ought to be prioritising them in some way (and I'd certainly rank wired interfaces above wireless). Then trying to use that interface in preference. Or in some cases, you might want to have plugging in the wired interface automatically disconnecting the wireless interface. Your two interfaces should (nay must) have different MACs, likewise with numerical IPs. Any routers and switches should be aiming return traffic back at the same interface. -- uname -rsvp Linux 5.11.22-100.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 19 18:58:25 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
