Yes, this works. (even with the wireless card in from the beginning).

I didn't change any of the wireless parameters from where they were when
wireless was the only adapter configged in mpts, and it worked well.

I'll try Peter's suggestions on the dhcpmon parameters, but IIRC the
wireless wasn't able to even ping a local machine by number - just tried
it again and get "no route to host".

Peter's commands seem to do the trick!  Also I can now switch to lan1 in
dhcpmon.  Looks like releasing the lease, and using dhcpmon -t is more
effective than just killing dhcpmon.

Thanks everyone - collective wisdom did the job!

(But - where, oh where, is there any doc on the cmd line switches for
dhcpmon ?????)??
