Priority of network interfaces

[André Wendt <andre.wendt@web.de>]

Hi,

I'm using ifplugd to connect to a network. Whenever there's wireless and
wired networks available, I usually prefer the wired connection -- it's
faster and works mostly without additional setup (think WPA or VPN). But
when any wireless network is available, Debian wants to use it, no matter
if a network cable is plugged in or not. I have to manually

$ ifdown ath0

the wireless interface before I get a connection. Is there any IF priority
setting available in Debian? What I'd like to do is tell Debian to use the
wired interface when both are available.

Thanks

Best regards,
Andre
