Re: notebook networking: wired vs wireless

The Sony VAIO notebook has both a wireless and a wired NIC.

The wireless part works flawlessly.

However, when I tried the wired network (DHCP), the default
gateway did not appear in "route print". The notebook did
get an IP and the DNS was correct, and I could ping the
notebook's wired NIC.

It seems that the wireless interface's default gateway
overrides that of the wired interface. I am unable to disable
the wireless interface.... :(
