If WiFi is available it uses that; if not, eth0 does not come up, and eth1 is used. Incidentally, I have never ever had any problem with ethernet; the cheapest and scruffiest devices seem to work perfectly. Sadly, WiFi under all Linux distributions I have tried is not good - as far as I can see, all the distributions try to be too clever; so if WiFi is not working it is difficult to work out why. All WiFi error messages seem to be written by aliens. WiFi under Windows is not perfect, by any means - but at least it is fairly easy to see what is wrong if it is not working. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
