The toggling behavior between Ethernet and WiFi is not new. It has been standard on the P72 since I purchased it and installed F29 in November 2018. I seem to recall the same behavior in the ThinkPad W700 laptop that the P72 replaced. I believe it's controlled by NetworkManager and has been simple and automatic. While the address configurations for copper and WiFi need not be different, I prefer setting the same local static address in each mode. That way all local systems can communicate continuously with the ThinkPad no matter which interface is active.
It has nothing to do with NetworkManager. If both interfaces are active at the same time, NetworkManager will set the ethernet port as the default. You can even have both interfaces with the same address and everything still works. I usually set my laptops up like this.
Kevin mentioned that there might be a BIOS setting for the wifi kill switch. Also, you haven't replied to my earlier email. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
