My laptop has iwi0 and bge0 interfaces. At work, both of these obtain
addresses and default routes by DHCP, but from two completely different D=
HCP
servers. When I'm plugged into the wired network I want the bge0 interfa=
ce to
be the default route, but iwi0 comes first in the list of interfaces prod=
uced
by ifconfig, so it gets configured first and sets the route. Of course, =
when
I'm not plugged into the wired network I want iwi0 to have the default ro=
ute,
so I can't just use dhclient.conf to disregard routing information on tha=
t
interface.
All in all, setting network_interfaces=3D"bge0 iwi0 lo0" does exactly wha=
t I
want with minimal effort.
Cheers,
Matthew
