Thx for the help btw

The output of ip addr show is

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 
1000
    link/ether 00:1b:fc:3a:ac:50 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.1.1.4/8 brd 10.255.255.255 scope global eth0
3: wmaster0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc ieee80211 qlen

    link/ieee802.11 00:13:e8:07:ec:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen

    link/ether 00:13:e8:07:ec:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.1.1.9/8 brd 10.255.255.255 scope global wlan0
    inet6 fe80::213:e8ff:fe07:ec03/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

ip route ls gives

169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0  scope link  metric 1000 
10.0.0.0/8 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.1.1.4 
10.0.0.0/8 dev wlan0  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.1.1.9 
default via 10.1.1.1 dev wlan0 
default via 10.1.1.1 dev eth0  metric 100 

thx again
