Hi Everyone,

I would like to know about the right way to set up wireless. I have Dell D600 
with a Dell TrueMobile 1350 running CURRENT. Ndis works well, and I've written a 
shell script that brings up my wireless interface everytime that I boot. 
However, running wireless is still not very smooth. I have a host of problems:

  => If I leave a wireless zone and then hook-up an ethernet cord my computer 
will not simply switch to the corded interface. I have to run sysinstall.
  => If I boot up with the ethernet configured and then enter a wireless zone, I 
can't simply switch to the wireless - I have to run sysinstall.
  => If I go from one wireless zone to another, I have to run sysinstall.
  => Sometimes when I bring the wireless up in sysinstall, I get a 'page fault' 
and my system crashes.

How do I get my machine to dynamically pick the interface that is working? And 
what do I do about these page faults? I have looked at the Handbook, etc., and 
while there is some useful information there I can't find anything that deals 
with changing one's interface on the fly.
