No need to dstroy wifi. ifconfig wlan0 down should be enough. There shoudl also be other ways these days in that default route over LAN could take priority over WLAN (my understanding is this should be possible but maybe in main only and I haven't seen anyone posting a HowTo yet..). > Don't know if there are any practical consequences. > The system didn't panic and I was able to plug the ethernet USB interface > after this and it worked. Feel blessed it didn't panic ;-) It seems iwlwifi doesn't like a particular bit being removed (and re-created, so if you would create the interface again it most likely will panic). I have diagnosed some other weirdness in that area the last days; I hope to have a fix in a few days. /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7
