Yes, that's what I did. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
Original issue was that I could get both networks up and working:
- ethernet connection to MESA baord with static IP set to 10.10.10.2
- wifi connection to LAN
But whenever I tried connecting them concurrently, my connection to LAN no longer worked.
The problem with LAN turned out to be a router configuration issue.
There's still an issue with the GUI NetworkManagemer Applet. When I configure the Ethernet connection with static IP address via the GUI, it connects and then disconnects spuriously.
When I configure the same connection via the /etc/network/interfaces file, the connection works without issues. I'm fine with this; I'm just posting here for posterity.
Thanks
