Basically, you cannot have different IP adresses on a same network. The traffic goes through eth0 while wlan0 is inhibited. I'm sure you can find on the web solutions to push the wireless traffic through ethernet. A better solution is to bind both interfaces in one bond0 interface so that the traffic switches to wireless when you disconnect the cable. There are many linux bonding howto's around. Pierre Well, I have already tried a bunch of bonding "how-to's", but I have not been able to make any of them work with LFS. But I have build KDE before, and at that time the wpa_supplicant interface was working, I could scan for AP's etc. Part of the "mission" is to be able to use my laptop in other locations, where I will have to connect to a wireless network. I thought that was exactly what wpa_supplicant was for ? I don't want to connect through both interfaces at the same time - it is absolutely OK for me if I could just connect through the wireless network, and even not have my eth0 connected. So my main goal right now is to make wpa_supplicant work.
