Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

I upgraded to Gutsy today and after that I have some problems with network access because the wireless takes precedence over the wired connection.

My wired and wireless are both the same LAN-network. Normally I want to use the wired lan but sometimes I'm roaming around and I use the wireless instead.

If I do a ifconfig I can see that both interfaces eth0 and eth1 are configured with IP-adresses from the same network. I can see in my routing table that I have two default routes.

I can ping my default gateway and I see with tcpdump that the packets are leaving on my eth1 (wireless) interface. However, if I try to reach anything through my default gateway it fails.

If I disable my wireless connection via nm-applet my wired connection starts working. And as usual, even though I have disabled it it is enabled again on my next reboot.

It seems that this problem was actually related to firestarter. Something in firestarter changed after the upgrade. I could see in /var/log/syslog that there were dropped packets. When I uninstalled firestarter and rebooted my connection worked.

However, packets are going out on the wireless interface when I use my network even though the wired interface is up. It seems that packets are actually going out on both interfaces!
