Re: Change preferred interface for default gateway?



I am using the default (Network Manager), sorry, should have specified... It a pretty vanilla Debian Stable install on a Lenovo T410s.

Hi Tyler,
I think, it depends on, if you are using network-manager or wicd. For myself I
am using wicd which in my case is working better than network-manager.

Rermeber: network-manager is only working, if /etc/network/interfaces is NOT
configured, whilst wicd is working with it.

I guess, you will have to test, which way is better for your needs.

Good luck!

Hans
