 |
|
Initially I wondered why knemo showed the icon for eth0 only at home but not when I'm in the office. Then I realized that at work (wlan0) eth0 doesn't have the state RUNNING : | Code: | tfoerste@n22 ~ $ /sbin/ifconfig | grep -e Link -e UP > home
tfoerste@n22 ~ $ cat home
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:7e:11:75:c4
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1
|
I configures eth0 always to have a static ip 192.168.0.254. At work I use wlan0 to connect to the company intranet, at home I've DSL (ppp0).
What makes the difference that eth0 is not in RUNNING state at work ?

I assume that "RUNNING" only indicates, that a cable is plugged into the device. I reproduced your scenario with my notebook and my workstation and this is the only solution I could find.
Best regards,
