Switching between LAN and 3G network dongle

Thu Apr 18, 2013 9:55 am

I am wondering if anyone can help me find a way to ping a LAN device whilst using a 3g dongle that is accessing the internet. It seems I can only do one or the other at the moment.

I am using a e3256 dongle which I got working using this chap's post

Thanks in advance!
