Cannot force wlan0

[beax]

Hi.

pms-linux ran with no problems before, but now it seems to not be able to connect to my wireless interface, instead trying and failing to connect to eth1 (no cable is plugged in).
In general settings 'Force networking on interface' does not have a option for wlan0..

Any ideas?
Cheers

And the wireless interface is active? Post the output of the following command:

Code: Select all

ifconfig -a

Sorry, my mistake, I think the wireless device might be eth1 (this is my girl friends laptop, not used to it):

So from the previous error I posted it looks like the port 5001 is already in use, am I right?

Thanks

Think I've fixed it by chaning the port.
