My system keeps beeping at me....I get this from dmesg: [ 362.815785] eth1: New link status: AP Out of Range (0004) [ 366.310658] eth1: New link status: AP In Range (0005) I am connect to a wired LAN. eth1 is not enabled. /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback noauto eth1 auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.25.148 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.25.255 gateway 192.168.25.1 dns-search tc.ph.cox.net dns-nameservers 68.105.28.12 68.105.29.12 68.105.28.11 up echo "home-lan" What do I need to do to stop the wifi interface from creating these error messages? I would like to shut it down if the network cable is installed, but I need it when I move the laptop to another location that has wifi. I need my local wifi for my blackberry, so I cannot turn it off. BTW, if I change the interfaces file to bring up the eth1, I have great signal strength since my wifi router sits about 10 feet from me in the same room. Thanks! Mark
