The wifi shouldn't be disconnected when the ethernet is, but the
ethernet will have a higher priority. Unless the wifi is on a
different
subnet and that's where you're sending a packet to, it will go out
on
the ethernet connection. I often have my dhcp set up to give my
wifi
and ethernet the same ip address. That way I can switch between the
two
without losing connections.
I'll take your word for it Sam. I'm still unable to communicate thru
the RJ45 port with my currently installed package(s) / configuration.
Unless someone can suggest a true fix, I'm still facing a package
remove/replace situation. Which ones??? Otherwise my only solution
would be a scorched disk total removal and replacement of the entire
system.
