Re: /etc/network/interfaces

Hi,
If you talk about different wifi networks, not different access points for the same network, you can control the order of preference with the priority line in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. I found it much more reliable to activate and deactivate the wifi manually than giving the thing a mind of its own to decide when and to what it wants to connect.
As part of the kies package, I wrote a cli-based wifi configuration tool.
If you want it, you can get kies from:

I have a couple of questions about /etc/network/interfaces.  On this command line only debian testing system, I have found this to be really the only
effective way to configure networks.  I have a question, though.

If I put in stanzas for each connection we have here, an allow hotplug and then the interface info, will my ifup be able to connect to either of the
wireless networks depending on which one is in range or will it error out because there is more than one connection for the same wlan0 interface?



Thanks.
