And I got tired of fighting with the daemons insistance on knowing the full details of both nics, which furnishes a path to bypass iptables that I shut it down on that machine and now have ot trying to run on this box. But the lappy isn't even asking for dhcp even though the ifcfg-wlan0 is setup to use it.
