Robby,

   I wrote this before, but I'll do so again. The static IP address for eth0
is 192.168.55.5. At this one coffee shop the IP address on wlan0 is
10.5.70.104.

   The routing table showed the eth0 gateway as 192.168.55.4 and the wlan0
gateway as 10.5.70.1.

   There's a nice utility called ifplugd that brings up eth0 if there's a
cable attached and brings down eth0 if the cable is removed. There's no
slackbuild script for that (but there is for the required libdaemon), so
I'll build these on the Sony, configure them, and test it at the coffee
shop later today.

Regards,

Rich
