However in your case, this causes problems.

I'm sure the priority on Beta 2 is to use ethernet first and if not available Wifi. This could be changed via the upstart routines but could be overwritten with upgrades etc.

Maybe as a test - change the IP's so that the Wifi is lower than the Ethernet address. This might work.

If not - wait a bit until a developer reads your post who will be able to give a more detailed explanation of how to change it - if possible.

thanks. ideally, the router could do it all. it has ddwrt on it, and if I set it to ClientBridge mode it works... the pi connects through ethernet and gets online, and i can connect to it with my phone.

but it gets dhcp from the network, and you cant change that in Client Bridge mode. And it doesnt seem to connect with a static ip... which is weird.

So another option is to use regular Client mode, and create a virtual SSID for the phone to connect to. This is what I cant get working... Even when I set the router to a different subnet as the wiki tells me to. The phone can connect to the virtual SSID, but the router just wont connect to the internet.

Maybe I should try again, because getting the router to work in client mode shouldn't be hard...
