http://askubuntu.com – When we create any socket, we don't provide device name (like eth0, or wlan0). In my laptop, i have wired interface (eth) and wireless interface (wlan). I want to run one process on each interface simultaneously. Is it possible? let me know if there is any way to do this. I am using ubuntu 12.10. Thanks, vivek (HowTos)

Let R1 and R2 be two (wireless) routers. Both R1 and R2 have one wired interface eth0 and one wireless interface wlan0. On each router, both interfaces are bridged on br0.

How do you specifiy the wireless interface in wicd-cli?In wicd-gtk, you go to Preferences and type wlan0 in the Wireless interface field.In wicd-curses, you press uppercase P for Preferences and type wlan0 in the Wireless Interface field.

I have a Dell XPS 8500 running Ubuntu 12.10. This machine has a single wired network interface built into the motherboard. Most of the time this interface is p3p1, but sometimes it is identified as p3p2. While I was just goofing around with the machine I just put an entry into /etc/network/interfaces for each of them and told them to use DHCP.

[ubuntu] eth0 to wlan0 36 weeks 6 days ago

Hey guys i'm trying to use the airodump-ng but it is saying the following,

bstrawt@pan:~$ sudo airodump-ng mon0 Interface mon0: ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device

instead of me having a wlan0 it says i have a eth1 as an adapter. I am using wifi from my laptop and confused why it is saying i have eth rather than wlan.

wifi 2 years 43 weeks ago

not able to get my wifi working with mandriva 2010, using lenovo netbook S10e ideapad [root@localhost ~]# lspcidrake -v | grep -i wireless btusb : Broadcom Corp|BCM2046 Bluetooth Device [Wireless|Radio Frequency|Bluetooth] (vendor:0a5c device:2150) [root@localhost ~]# service network restart

I am running Ubuntu Server 12.04. I have a wireless USB card. When I begin the boot process I see:

Waiting for network configuration

It turns out that the network never comes up. But once I get to the command line, if I type: ifup wlan0, then I have network access.

I got my wlan AP working now and i also tried to use netcfg to configure the interface, at last i noticed the SKIPNOCARRIER='yes' option so i can configure the interface before starting hostapd:CONNECTION='ethernet' DESCRIPTION='wlan access point' INTERFACE='wlan0' IP='static' ADDR='192.168.1.1' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' SKIPNOCAR

But I have problem with this. The name of wlan interface on HP5103 of my girlfriend constantly changes from wlan0 to wlp1s0 and vice versa. So her netcfg profiles do not work.For example:1. boot: wlan02. boot: wlp1s03. boot: wlan0etc.....Is there a way to have always same interface?

How does Linux determine which network interface to use, when both are connected to the same network?

Note that this isn't a question on routing. I'm familiar with how that works.
