      Hi.
      Sry if it have been discussed before, but I've not found any hint on this in the forum
      I've installed 2.0 RC1 on an alix board.
      I need to have a failover access on internet, so I've configured a 3g modem (Huawei E156G) to act as backup connection.
      After a little tweaking I've managed to get it work.
      I've set up a Gateway group where the main connection has Tier 1 and the 3g modem has Tier 5.
      It works. More or less.  :)
      When I disconnect the wan cable from the main internet connection, after the time I've set up (5 sec) the 3g card come up regularly, so the failover works.  :)
      The problem is that when I reconnect the cable back in place the connection stays on the 3Gcard, despite the fact it is "low priority".  ???
      If I force a disconnection on the PPP interface the connection diligently revert to the main WAN.  :P
      Any idea on how to make it automatic????
      Thanks.  Giulio
