First the iwi if works on boot, but then drops out. I have a wpa_supplicant working, but after a while it drops off and loses the connection on me. The only way for me to get it going again is to kill off wpa_supplicant and run it manually every time it drops. Next I can't get the if to talk to the network and access the net if the rl0 (ethernet) if has been plugged in- it won't switch back to wifi once its been cabled it has to be rebooted. I have been tried using routed but it doesn't like the situation any better. It still defaults to rl0. I've used netstat to check the route tables, and I've used ifconfig to set some metrics for the interfaces- making a rl0 a higher priority, but only if connected. Now I can't even get the iwi to see the dns or gateway. So I could use some guidance as to what I can do to rectifiy this problem. I have 2 goals: 1. setup iwi to start on boot, and attach to my ap whenever its in range. 2. make sure iwi stays connected without manually monitoring it. 3. prioritise my routes via the rl0 and iwi if's so that cable is used over wifi, but both can be used to access the network. To satisfy number 2- is there a script/daemon/whatever to monitor and restart services when required for instances like this? or do I need to make one up for my circumstances here?
