Can't connect to the internet via WLAN

[r50e]

Hi there,

I run in the same problem as Trace. I have tried to setup a static IP for my WLAN device - without success. See:  (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,16571.0.html).

I decided to activate DHCP for testing on the AP. And now I'm really confused:

1. Used wifi.sh and entered credentials for WPA
2. I get IP from AP (as expected)
3. But I can't connect to the Internet

In fact, if I get a IP from AP the connection (wpa_supplicant is correct konfigured).
I have a correct default gateway and a DNS Server (from DHCP)
But I can't connect to the internet - why???

I figured out, that there are some errors on the eth1 (my wlan device) in the RX queu (2 errors and 80 dropped). But why is dhcp working and the rest of the connection not?

The hardware I run TC is a IBM R50e and the firmware driver I load for WLAN is the ipw2020

I startet with syslog option, but I found nothing of interest (dmesg also not)

Use boot code "nodhcp".

Also, don't have two network interfaces up on the same subnet.

@ tinypoodle

That is the second step I will do. But now my problem is that the connection to the internet don't work - even with DHCP. And what is the cause for the errors I get on eth1?

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:CE:8D:F7:46 
          inet addr:192.168.222.60  Bcast:192.168.222.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:20233 errors:25 dropped:2510 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:4304700 (4.1 MiB)  TX bytes:5384 (5.2 KiB)

@ gerald_clark
this was the solution. Thank you!
sudo ifconfig eth0 down

[tinypoodle]

Cause is two interfaces on same subnet, plus two default gateways for one host (or if you want, one and the same gateway assigned to two interfaces), therefore routing becomes random.
