I have eth0 and wlan0 both connecting to my wireless router when I am docked - the dock is eth0 wired into router and gets 192.168.0.101 and the wlan0 will autoassociate and pick up 192.168.0.111.
All network services are working just fine but I am not sure which adapter is the default route at any given time?'
I can see that they both pick up valid routing and DNS information etc - they always work individually as well...
So how can I tell which adapter is being used by firefox and which by portage for example ? I know it doesn't really matter since the connection is going to a single pipe on the net outside of the router but I am interested in knowing how the system allocates the default adapter when they are both on the same subnet.
You might want to have the two adaptors on distinct subnets for routing to function properly. If you want to connect to a host at 192.168.0.105 for example, both interfaces are indicated.
