How to enable eth0 and wlan0

[shaywood]

Hello. I'm a newbie! I initially setup Rpi using a network cable. I then added a wireless N usb adapter, which works fine. I would like to be able to go back-and-forth between the cable and usb adapter as needed. I noticed when I switch between cable and adapter the cable no longer works. How can I choose which one to use?

Hi Shaywood,

The commands are entered at the command prompt (LXTerminal most likely).

Code: Select all

cl330b@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo ifdown wlan0
cl330b@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo ifup eth0

Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to set things up to check for lan vs wan automatically when booting. It looks like the commands you provided must be entered manually.
