FAQ / 2 interfaces here.

If you want to have 2 interfaces (wired and wireless) connected at the same time, you need to tell wicd to ignore the wired connection (eth0) ... then handle that connection manually (perhaps via ifconfig)

• bugthing: hello... I am using wcid 1.6.2.2 and I am wondering if it has support to be connected to a wireless connection AND a wired connection as the same time??? IRCuser: no IRCuser: well yes IRCuser: but IRCuser: you need to tell wicd to ignore the wired connection IRCuser: and set it up manually bugthing: ok, thanks.. how do I set it to ignore the wired connection IRCuser: in preferences IRCuser: where it says wired connection IRCuser: a box, that should have something like eth0 in it IRCuser: clear the box so it has nothing in it bugthing: cool.. thanks I've done that.... can you recommend a way to manually setup my eth0 (edit the /etc/network/interfaces I guess?) IRCuser: or you can use ifconfig
