Hi

I'd like to know if I can connect to two different networks simultaneously. My laptop running ubuntu oneric has a WiFi connection to the internet. This is a normal wifi internet connection. This works fine as long as I keep the second connection off.

The second network is via the ethernet port to my beagleboard. The connection is direct to the board and nothing else is on the network. At the moment I have configured this connection to be static IP, and it works fine (running GDB / ssh) as long as I switch the internet connection off.

So my question is that is there some way I can keep both connections active and make sure that my browser uses the WiFi to the internet and I can also run say GDB using the ethernet to talk to the beagleboard..

Thanks!
