I have a wireless card on my laptop which connects on wlan0:

I also have a Tivit DVB-H device on USB:

If I need to connect to the Internet I have to disable the USB network.

It's not a big deal, but it's a bit of a pain.

Can anyone suggest a fix? I'm running Ubuntu 10.10

Hi,

I noticed the broadcast addresses differ...also, your IP addresses, this is weird:192.168.1.102 and 192.168.16.50. The second one has 16 as third entry...I doubt that is good...I'd like to see them both on 192.168.1.x, where the x is anything between 2 and 255 (1 is the router/gateway - I did'nt get that from the listing, but I assume that's in order)...
If I may make a humble suggestion: dont rely on DHCP but set the stuff to a fixed IP address.
Maybe this can help:

I'm kind of constrained by the servers in each system.

Oh dear - you may have to bridge this, maybe this can help?

Use a gateway address on the nic you want internet access to.

First off, I wouldn't recommend bridging, as it doesn't appear it is needed. Proper routing tables can handle this easily as it is.

Let's take a look at the routing table when you have both interfaces up, and when you have only your wlan0 up.

From what you describe, I'd guess that when you have both networks connected, you probably have a default route pointing toward the usb0 network that overrides the wlan0 default. Have you configured static IP addresses, or do you get dhcp leases? I'd imagine the wlan0 one is probably dhcp. If dhcp lease requests on both interfaces, I imagine there is a way to make a request without the gateway included, which could be configured for usb0. If you're using static on both, you should remove the default gw definition for usb0.

Just a guess thus far. Let us know.

Thanks devwatchdog, I've learned something here!

I assumed bridging would be the easier option as it would connect separate networks together, this led me into this path:

Hence my disorientation...
