or he can turn the wifi off and gui's generally suck....

he doesn't need the wifi because the ehternet cable is connected and they running the same route

Code: [Select]
ifconfig wlp1s0 down

Thank you all for the hints, I checked it and can't configure my Box's DHCP.
It only allows me to set a DMZ. Poor settings.

When I was using Ubuntu Maté then Antergos, Same Box, I never had the problem. I mean I never noticed (in fact I never checked my routes).

I think if we want to consider Artix a decent Distro, it shall work without command line with this kind of common cases.

Next time I reboot I'll check if my NetworkManager's priority settings solve it

I don't define a distro like that...

You right, sure.
But we want Artix to get some audience. Do we?

First you say you went to the router and disabled dhcp and it fixed the problem, then you say you shouldn't  have to use the command line, but you never had to check before with other distros.
Did you use connman or wicd on other distros?  Why don't you use it here to avoid the command line?  Because when in a gui you click to disable eth or wlan it does exactly the same thing as ifconfig wlan0 down.  I think net..man.. has some minimal gui thing that usually pops up in a panel with a 2 screen icon and you can point and click there too.

You come from distros with systemd, you use networkmanager and you measure decency by not having to use the terminal?  Why are you on Artix?  Is it because of the pretty desktop  themes?  I think this is a bigger problem than your nm crisis.   I condemn the practice of others in this thread of referring to you in third person (the us him mentality is not conducive to any community - c'mon mrbrklyn I thought you would know better) or having a personal conversation in an open forum.

Unless you convert your machine into a router the "box" is your router and defines the network for you.  It is most likely running some form of simple old linux in it, and least likely it has systemd in it.    Should your smart router distinguish you with a machine connected with ethernet and another machine connected with wifi, or should it be able to identify that this eth-card and this wifi-card belongs to the same machine?  Why?  How?

 If you are running just a personal PC to a home router, why use the long if names and not eth0 and wlan0?  If as you say it is some new type of wifi card it would be wlan0 wlan1.  If you don't know and don't care to learn why not use Mint or Windows 10?

You can't reproduce the ip command in a gui, and I am sick of OSs designed to make people stupid.

IP(8)                                Linux                               IP(8)

NAME
       ip - show / manipulate routing, network devices, interfaces and tunnels

SYNOPSIS
       ip [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }

       ip [ -force ] -batch filename

       OBJECT := { link | address | addrlabel | route | rule | neigh | ntable
               | tunnel | tuntap | maddress | mroute | mrule | monitor | xfrm
               | netns | l2tp | tcp_metrics | token | macsec }

       OPTIONS := { -V[ersion] | -h[uman-readable] | -s[tatistics] |
               -d[etails] | -r[esolve] | -iec | -f[amily] { inet | inet6 |
               link } | -4 | -6 | -I | -D | -B | -0 | -l[oops] { maximum-addr-
               flush-attempts } | -o[neline] | -rc[vbuf] [size] | -t[imestamp]
               | -ts[hort] | -n[etns] name | -a[ll] | -c[olor] | -br[ief] |
               -j[son] | -p[retty] }

OPTIONS
       -V, -Version
              Print the version of the ip utility and exit.

       -h, -human, -human-readable
              output statistics with human readable values followed by suffix.

       -b, -batch <FILENAME>
              Read commands from provided file or standard input and invoke
              them.  First failure will cause termination of ip.

       -force Don't terminate ip on errors in batch mode.  If there were any
              errors during execution of the commands, the application return
              code will be non zero.

       -s, -stats, -statistics
              Output more information. If the option appears twice or more,
              the amount of information increases.  As a rule, the information
              is statistics or some time values.

       -d, -details
              Output more detailed information.

       -l, -loops <COUNT>
              Specify maximum number of loops the 'ip address flush' logic
              will attempt before giving up. The default is 10.  Zero (0)
              means loop until all addresses are removed.

       -f, -family <FAMILY>
              Specifies the protocol family to use. The protocol family iden‐
              tifier can be one of inet, inet6, bridge, mpls or link.  If this
              option is not present, the protocol family is guessed from other
              arguments. If the rest of the command line does not give enough
              information to guess the family, ip falls back to the default
              one, usually inet or any.  link is a special family identifier
              meaning that no networking protocol is involved.

       -4     shortcut for -family inet.

       -6     shortcut for -family inet6.

       -B     shortcut for -family bridge.

       -M     shortcut for -family mpls.

       -0     shortcut for -family link.

       -o, -oneline
              output each record on a single line, replacing line feeds with
              the '\' character. This is convenient when you want to count
              records with wc(1) or to grep(1) the output.

       -r, -resolve
              use the system's name resolver to print DNS names instead of
              host addresses.

       -n, -netns <NETNS>
              switches ip to the specified network namespace NETNS.  Actually
              it just simplifies executing of:

              ip netns exec NETNS ip [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }

              to

              ip -n[etns] NETNS [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }

       -a, -all
              executes specified command over all objects, it depends if com‐
              mand supports this option.

       -c[color][={always|auto|never}
              Configure color output. If parameter is omitted or always, color
              output is enabled regardless of stdout state. If parameter is
              auto, stdout is checked to be a terminal before enabling color
              output. If parameter is never, color output is disabled. If
              specified multiple times, the last one takes precedence. This
              flag is ignored if -json is also given.

              Used color palette can be influenced by COLORFGBG environment
              variable (see ENVIRONMENT).

       -t, -timestamp
              display current time when using monitor option.

       -ts, -tshort
              Like -timestamp, but use shorter format.

       -rc, -rcvbuf<SIZE>
              Set the netlink socket receive buffer size, defaults to 1MB.

       -iec   print human readable rates in IEC units (e.g. 1Ki = 1024).

       -br, -brief
              Print only basic information in a tabular format for better
              readability. This option is currently only supported by ip addr
              show and ip link show commands.

       -j, -json
              Output results in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).

       -p, -pretty
              The default JSON format is compact and more efficient to parse
              but hard for most users to read.  This flag adds indentation for
              readability.

IP - COMMAND SYNTAX
   OBJECT
       address
              - protocol (IP or IPv6) address on a device.

       addrlabel
              - label configuration for protocol address selection.

       l2tp   - tunnel ethernet over IP (L2TPv3).

       link   - network device.

       maddress
              - multicast address.

       monitor
              - watch for netlink messages.

       mroute - multicast routing cache entry.

       mrule  - rule in multicast routing policy database.

       neighbour
              - manage ARP or NDISC cache entries.

       netns  - manage network namespaces.

       ntable - manage the neighbor cache's operation.

       route  - routing table entry.

       rule   - rule in routing policy database.

       tcp_metrics/tcpmetrics
              - manage TCP Metrics

       token  - manage tokenized interface identifiers.

       tunnel - tunnel over IP.

       tuntap - manage TUN/TAP devices.

       xfrm   - manage IPSec policies.

       The names of all objects may be written in full or abbreviated form,
       for example address can be abbreviated as addr or just a.

   COMMAND
       Specifies the action to perform on the object.  The set of possible ac‐
       tions depends on the object type.  As a rule, it is possible to add,
       delete and show (or list ) objects, but some objects do not allow all
       of these operations or have some additional commands. The help command
       is available for all objects. It prints out a list of available com‐
       mands and argument syntax conventions.

       If no command is given, some default command is assumed.  Usually it is
       list or, if the objects of this class cannot be listed, help.
ENVIRONMENT
       COLORFGBG
              If set, it's value is used for detection whether background is
              dark or light and use contrast colors for it.

              COLORFGBG environment variable usually contains either two or
              three values separated by semicolons; we want the last value in
              either case.  If this value is 0-6 or 8, chose colors suitable
              for dark background:

              COLORFGBG=";0" ip -c a

EXIT STATUS
       Exit status is 0 if command was successful, and 1 if there is a syntax
       error.  If an error was reported by the kernel exit status is 2.

EXAMPLES
       ip addr
           Shows addresses assigned to all network interfaces.

       ip neigh
           Shows the current neighbour table in kernel.

       ip link set x up
           Bring up interface x.

       ip link set x down
           Bring down interface x.

       ip route
           Show table routes.

HISTORY
       ip was written by Alexey N. Kuznetsov and added in Linux 2.2.

And that is the tip of the iceburg.  When you run DHCP then you let DHCP make your settings.  If that is controlled by an idiot, or someone who treats you like an idiot, then it is screws up your end point work station, whether it is a laptop or a  tablet or whatever.

You are running two identical networks through two difference network devices.  It is FUNDEMENTALLY broken.

ARP(8)                                  Linux System Administrator's Manual                                 ARP(8)

NAME
       arp - manipulate the system ARP cache

SYNOPSIS
       arp [-vn] [-H type] [-i if] [-ae] [hostname]

       arp [-v] [-i if] -d hostname [pub]

       arp [-v] [-H type] [-i if] -s hostname hw_addr [temp]

       arp [-v] [-H type] [-i if] -s hostname hw_addr [netmask nm] pub

       arp [-v] [-H type] [-i if] -Ds hostname ifname [netmask nm] pub

       arp [-vnD] [-H type] [-i if] -f [filename]

DESCRIPTION
       Arp  manipulates  or  displays  the kernel's IPv4 network neighbour cache. It can add entries to the table,
       delete one or display the current content.

       ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol, which is used to find the media access  control  address  of  a
       network neighbour for a given IPv4 Address.

MODES
       arp  with no mode specifier will print the current content of the table. It is possible to limit the number
       of entries printed, by specifying an hardware address type, interface name or host address.

       arp -d address will delete a ARP table entry. Root or netadmin privilege is required to do this. The  entry
       is  found by IP address. If a hostname is given, it will be resolved before looking up the entry in the ARP
       table.

       arp -s address hw_addr is used to set up a new table entry. The format of the hw_addr parameter  is  depen‐
       dent  on  the  hardware class, but for most classes one can assume that the usual presentation can be used.
       For the Ethernet class, this is 6 bytes in hexadecimal, separated by colons. When adding proxy arp  entries
       (that  is those with the publish flag set) a netmask may be specified to proxy arp for entire subnets. This
       is not good practice, but is supported by older kernels because it can be useful. If the temp flag  is  not
       supplied  entries  will  be  permanent stored into the ARP cache. To simplify setting up entries for one of
       your own network interfaces, you can use the arp -Ds address ifname form. In that case the hardware address
       is taken from the interface with the specified name.

It is most likely running some form of simple old linux in it, and least likely it has systemd in it.

I have once tried to create router upon systemd distro. That was a whole pain and i changed it to runit soon.

If you are running just a personal PC to a home router, why use the long if names and not eth0 and wlan0?

Udev takes care of that. I don't think it's easy to change such behavior. However, on Arch Linux ARM udev still keeps short names for network interfaces

Revert to traditional interface names

If you would prefer to retain traditional interface names such as eth0, Predictable Network Interface Names can be disabled by masking the udev rule:

Code: [Select]
# ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules

Alternatively, add net.ifnames=0 to the kernel parameters.

Set device MTU and queue length

You can change the device MTU and queue length by defining manually with an udev-rule. For example:

/etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="wl*", ATTR{mtu}="1500", ATTR{tx_queue_len}="2000"


ummm - don't do that...

At least don't set it over 1500 unless you want to kill the majority of hardware...

networkmanager is a package in world - it's an Artix package, so we should be concerned if it is broken, as it is an offence to the flawless perfection that is usually found in Artix. So Nadir, well done for testing it and letting everyone know it isn't working, also pointing out some other distros where it does work, as that may provide some hints as to what patches or versions might hold the solution. Clearly there are few others who wish to undertake this task.  ;D  It's also very helpful that others can point out how to get around the problem by a variety of other methods, and WICD is still working perfectly for me, but I'm dodging the issue there, not fixing the networkmanager package, and that could require even more expertise than command line config, so it depends how you look at things really.

Re: Wifi then Ethernet -> no route

In the end, the problem is mainly not fixed.

The internet box does not have any option to put NIC & wifi in 2 separate networks.
Changing the priority seems worses in fact.

So I am still forced to manually disconnect wifi when plugging ethernet, but it not a problem with Artix.

Have you tried dhclient instead of dhcpcd? Debian based OS's use that with networkmanager. Also networkmanager-git is in the AUR, it's on version 1.19.x now so you could go a bit newer.

how does that help with one network assigned to two devices?

Re: Wifi then Ethernet -> no route

Don't know! But trying dhclient with wicd instead of dhcpcd, it still worked OK. Then I spotted something odd with wicd too, looking at the wpa_supplicant conf file revealed by
Code: [Select]
$ ps -ef |ag wpa
it does NOT use the bssid, just the ssid, although "Use these settings for all networks sharing this essid" in the properties of the configured network is not ticked. So although wicd shows the 2 networks with the same SSID but different BSSID individually in the gui connection menu, the wpa_supplicant conf file it auto generates does not (apparently)  distinguish between them, unless it has found some other way to ensure it connects to the correct one, that I don't know about. But I thought wpa_supplicant makes the wireless connection and would only work with the information it's given. So wicd might be even worse than Network Manager in some respects but in less obvious ways, and doesn't behave as it's own documentation suggests it should.
