Hi! I've got a little question about wifi on my R52, I hope you can help me=
.

I installed Ubuntu Hoary on my R52 and I'm very happy as all the hardware=
=20
has been correctly detected and configured out-of-the-box.

I thought the wireless card was not working well because, although the=20
applet connection on GNOME showed that it received a strong signal, I was=
=20
not able to surf the web with it. Strange enough, I could surf my router's=
=20
internal web page. It seemed like there was no DNS resolution when using=20
wireless.

Anyway, yesterday I found where the problem was: the wireless card=20
connection is working perfectly, it's only that to have DNS resolution on=
=20
it, I have to deactivate the LAN (non-wireless) card. It seems like is=20
always trying to go through the LAN card (eth0) instead of wireless (eth1),=
=20
even if there is no LAN cable attached to it and wireless is available.

This is not a major problem but a bit of a hassle. Most of the time I work=
=20
wired on the local network, but when I want to go wireless I have to=20
deactivate eth0 first. Could this be done automatically, make my computer=
=20
smart enough to detect which connection is available and use it?

Thanks !
