I have a laptop which is usually on Ethernet and has a static IP. Sometimes I need to take it away from my desk and use the wifi. How can I make the Ethernet and Wi-Fi use the same private IP address?

You could configure both interfaces with the same IP, but only one can be active at a time. To switch from the ethernet connection to the wifi, you could use the following commands. Someone else may have a much more elegant solution than this.



sudo ifdown eth0

sudo ifup wlan0


reversing this of course to get back to your ethernet:



sudo ifdown wlan0

sudo ifup eth0
