Hello! I installed Arch on my new Thinkpad T450s over the weekend. Everything works well, but I have a question:
I use systemd-networkd to manage my network interfaces and netctl for the connections. I set everything up according to (this)[0] and (this)[1] to get automatic activation of wifi via netctl-auto and netctl-ifplugd.
My question is as follows: I use i3wm, and i3status shows *both* ethernet and wifi as connected if I plug in the cable while having a wifi connection. What does this mean exactly, and how is my traffic routed?
Thanks in advance for clearing that up.
Cheers, Bennett

I don't use netctl, but you can usually see what default route it uses with ip route I have made the experience that newly configured interfaces "steal" the default route (although this can usually be configured - again, I don't use netctl). I can imagine the default route passing through the WiFi interface in your scenario. ~Tinu
