Question ndiswrapper how to use one nic for one thing another nic for other stuff ?


Well for those of you lucky enuf not to know kismet dosent work with ndiswrapper i have a trendnet tew-423pi and im using the ndis wrapper it works it shows up
Code:
[root@localhost aircrack-ng-0.6]# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:40:F4:D6:1F:FA
          inet6 addr: fe80::240:f4ff:fed6:1ffa/64 Scope:Link

[root@localhost aircrack-ng-0.6]# iwconfig wlan0

[root@localhost aircrack-ng-0.6]#
I hope that means its working when i go into wireless assistant it shows up and i cant connect to wifi (connection failed) i think itz just because of a low connect quality. but anyway i already have a wired 10/100 nic that gets internet and this wifi gets internet from another router attached to another isp (college) how can i specify which one i want to use for whicH ? example if i want to open a web browser using my wifi wlan0 and download with bittorrent using my eth0 ? so i can kind of split up the responsibility ?
any ideas ?

If they are in different networks .. thats what I suppose. The you just have to get yourself firm with Routing. Each Device needs a specified Gateway.
Google for routing and then you'll find a huge amount of useful hints and how to's
