Requirements * What needs to be done, is a way (via the control panel), to be able to select which interface Salut is going to use. That can be accomplished by

only enabling multicast on the interface selected and turn it of on the other. This is always needed for XOs that have internet sharing enabled b.t.w.

  • Without a control panel, a good default choice would be to disable multicast on the mesh interface (ifconfig msh0 -multicast) if eth0 is associated.
  • Enable Internet sharing (with pull down menus from which interface to what interface - eth0 to msh0 being the default)
  • disabling the mesh interface completely (for backwards AP compatibility)
