Well for the sake of other dodos like myself I'll document
the details here :-)  A piece of information that I forgot to =

include that Torbj=F6rn evidently figured out is that I have the =

AP configured as a bridge into my LAN.  Upshot is, getting rid of eth0
configuration on the same (sub)net fixes the problem.
But what about keeping that NIC configured for say,
testing purposes.  Read on if you're interested.

Pull the plug.

Well, there is the naive view, which might be obvious.  Unreachable
routes degrade to reachable ones.

So I commented out the unplugged eth0 configuration in =

/etc/network/interfaces, and voila!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH (NO IRONY!).

Is there a way that I can maintain a default ip addr assignment (via
/etc/network/interfaces) on the unplugged eth0 and not conflict with wlan=
0?  =

I would be grateful for pointers; I've got all of Steven's books.

Very best regards,
Russell
