It seems the selection of DHCP in XWLAN obviate the need to set "use
DHCP" in the MPTN window for the wireless card, correct?
Yes. You should leave the TCP/IP configuration of the Wi-Fi card entirely to XWLAN and simply ignore it under MPTS (LAPS).
Follow up, what is the recommended configuration when both wired and
wireless connection alternate? It seems I have to use MPTN to disable
and enable lan0 and lan1 as needed.
We've rekindled the discussion of this. See the thread with the subject "T23 internal cards success" for copies of Neil's REXX scripts for enabling/disabling of each IF.
Optimally, you can do this using scripts under XWLAN, and basically, from the TCP/IP tab in the properties notebook of the widget. From the help page:
Execute LAN configuration on disconnect
select this option to execute parts of the TCP/IP LAN configuration
(setup.cmd), when a Wireless LAN connection is disconnected from.
This will reset the configuration of TCP/IP interfaces and routes to
the state after system startup and is particular useful when
switching between wireless and cabled connections.
As the LAN configuration script normally deletes the default route,
on reconnect this may require reconfiguration of the TCP/IP
interface, even if the disconnect event was genereated only by
turning the radio off (this nomally only temporarily disables the
TCP/IP interface and therfore does not require a reconfiguration).
(Note to Christian: "generated" is misspelled in the last sentence; my bug report for this quarter. :-) )
