 Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2024 5:12 am Post subject: Giving wlan0 priority over eth0 |
 |
|
| I have installed Gentoo on my RPi5. The Pi has a connection for the ethernet cable and wifi. I have them both connected and they both have different local ips so for example eth0 has 192.168.1.10 and wlan0 has 192.168.1.11. My wifi connection is faster so I would like to use this is as the default interface but every time I boot it defaults to eth0. Does anyone know how I can set this up. I did it before with NetworkManager by using nmcli and setting a priority so I'd like to see if I could do something similar with iwd instead of having to switch to NM. |

Have you tried with nmcli?
I don't use wifi for my rpi5, but nmcli does show | Code: | rpi5 ~ # nmcli
end0: connected to Wired connection 1
"end0"

Use "nmcli device show" to get complete information about known devices and
"nmcli connection show" to get an overview on active connection profiles.
Consult nmcli(1) and nmcli-examples(7) manual pages for complete usage details.

And networkcli show | Code: | rpi5 ~ # networkctl

1) Why not just unplug the wire if you don't want to use it anyway?
2) What do you use to manage wired connection? I though iwd handles wireless part and is a replacement for wpa_supplicant rather than networkmanager, am I wrong about it?
