Ethernet and wifi at the same time issue

I have searched and found a number of posts on this, but they do not seen to resolve my issues.

I can connect the mesa on wired ethernet and it is fine. But my wifi while "connected", will not access the internet work network.
If I deactivate the ethernet, the internet works. Obviously there is a conflict but i can not seem to see where it is. I could have sworn this worked before as well.

The wifi is using dhcp. The ethernet is set to 10.10.10.10 for the mesa. Everything *seems* fine according to the instructions. I am using linuxcnc 2.9 on bookworm.

Anyone have any thoughts as to what I have botched? thanks!

i used network manager.

Normally Network Manager can do this properly
but wicd cannot setup two interfaces properly:

not using wicd as far as i know...

That was it!
thanks!!!

now back to trying to cut some things and not walking back and forth to the workstation for files on a usb stick
