OK, that is just what it does. That is cool. I needed to have properties:
Radio: Activate radio on startup. Also I needed to have TCP/IP: LAN 1

Ok, so that far everything works


But I still can't figure out how to switch from wireless back to wired. There
are some things missing. But my scripts do not always work for this, either.
Ideally, when the card is inserted, the computer activates LAN1 and deactivates
LAN0, and when the card is ejected, the comptuer activates LAN0 and deactivates
LAN1.

This would mean that a piece of software designed to run the Wireless LAN device and its IP interface should also take care for the wired interface. But thats not what the package is currently designed for. I once thought about a more global acting software, like a LAN management component, handling all lan interfaces, but for that an application would need to be able to register itself to get nofified if a cable is plugged into a NIC or umplugged from it.

But I do now have it working without my scripts for the simplest case. Start
the computer with a wire, it uses LAN0. Start the computer with nothing, and
plug in the wireless card, then it uses LAN1.

Yes, I think that is the way to go. The fix release V1.11 should now even work once the DHCP request is fired off for the cabled interface.

thanx, Christian
