Before I used Network Manager to manage my connections my wireless interface would be activated on boot. Without an access point I (obviously) could not connect to the net, but I could still ping my local machine with the static IP (192.168.0.100). With Network Manager managing my connection I cannot do this. Does that make sense? -- R John Mahoney wrote: Your email does not make much sense. It may help if you explain what you are trying to accomplish. The 127.0.0.1 always returns pings because its the loopback device. If the wireless is not connected to an access point then I do not see why it would be in the routing tables. If you want a useless device with an address look into creating a dummy device and assign it the address. |
