[kwlug-disc] IP addresses and gateways--my google-fu seems to be lacking

[R. Brent Clements]

Separate subnets is what I am trying to do,  This device is connected
to my home router via WiFi on the .1.0 network, and via the ethernet
port to the bedroom network which is the .10.0 network.  My
Eth-over-power device used to make the connection but it died.  I did
do this once before, but I can't remember how I did it.  Right now I
*think* I have iptables configured correctly.  But the wireless link
that does provide the internet connection when the ethernet link is
disconnected stops doing so when it is.  I think that is the last
thing I need to solve.  It seems like internet traffic is refusing to
use the wireless link when the wired one is connected, even tho there
is no route to the internet.
