That makes sense. At work they are different segments I think, but at home it's the same. It wouldn't be so bad if I could just restart dhclient but often nothing but 'service netif restart' helps. It's like it locked up somewhere... Maybe the solution is not to use lagg at all, but have wlan and em connected at the same time with separate ip addresses and a script that set default route to that of the wlan when unplugging ethernet (and override it when plugged in)..Received on Thu May 30 2019 - 18:10:57 UTC
