wicd - two network interfaces

Hello @ll,
I have a problem with wicd. I have two network interfaces in my laptop: eth0 - wired interface, eth1- wireless interface (ipw2100). For ex, when I'm trying to connect with wired network, wicd automaticaly disconnect the second interface. I want to share the internet connection by eth0 so it's problem for me. I know that there are other tools that I can use, but this computer is my laptop-traveler and wicd is great tool for me.
Thank's for help

Re: wicd - two network interfaces

What I do when I want to share my network connection is go to wicd preferences and leave 'wired interface' blank. That way it can connect to the wireless internet connection

I then set up my wired connection (for me it's eth0) with ifconfig: 'sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up'

Then I start up firestarter and start the 'firewall' (having set up that it should share internet connection)
