network configuration (wireless and ethernet)
I recently setup my ibook with debian (very awesome), and I have one major problem still plaguing me. I can't seem to get the computer to activate wireless and ethernet at the same time. Ideally, I would like the system to prioritize the connections, looking for ethernet first, and if it's not available, use wireless. Unfortunately, if I activate both at "auto eth0 or eth1" in /etc/network/interfaces, neither of the connections will work. Any ideas?
/etc/network/interfaces:
#The lopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#Primary network interface (ethernet)
auto eth1 (for some reason the installer named the ethernet at eth1)
iface eth1 inet dhcp
# wireless
#auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up modprobe airport
wireless_essid any
wireless_ap any
wireless_mode Managed
wireless_key off
wireless_nic ibook
Thanks in advance for any help,
Josh
