I fixed the encryption. had to set the key and reboot?
I tried 3 or 4 times to just set the key and connect but it never
worked.
I now have dhcpstrt -i lan0 in startup.cmd
lan0 is wired nic
so I can boot up and if the wire is plugged in it connects on lan0.
Xwlan will connect lan1 wifi and bring down lan0.
when I turn off wifi in Xwlan it brings down lan1 but fails to bring
lan0 back up.
I don't know relevant steps to bring down one network and bring up
the other. DHCP won't reconnect on lan0 when I try setting route it
says network unreachable.
I saw a thread #5877 on the list that has xwlan_cmd file
It shows the steps
net stop req /y
ifconfig lan0 down
ifconfig lan0 delete
route -fh
arp -f
ifconfig lan1 address netmask 225.225.225.0 metric 0 mtu 1500
route add default [router address] -hopcount 2
so how to get address from dhcp for ifconfig statement?
the script uses a fixed ip address.
I will try later I can fake it as the router is supposed to issue the
same address to the mac address. I tried the steps above be form but
not in that order and never "net stop" so maybe the order is
important?
