My Debian testing laptop running gnome has two interfaces - eth0 and wlan0. When I switch to wlan0, the routing table has an entry for eth0, so I cannot access my local network.
root@orca:/home/mark# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default gateway 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0
192.168.25.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.25.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0
if I remove the eth0 line, I can connect to my local lan.
How do I permanently remove this route? I can do it manually with route del -net....., but that does not survive reboot. I have no idea where this setting is created.
When I switch to eth0 (ie plug in a cable), I get this routing table, which is correct.
root@orca:/etc/network# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default gateway 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0
192.168.25.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
Thanks,
Mark
