i'm so lazy sometimes. with such a great brain trust here, it seems easier to ask my friends. my resident tech expert has left the building, so i get a little tied up in knots about these things sometimes.

anyway, in network preferences you can drag the networks into the order that you want them to hit. dragged the one i wanted to the top, and the one it keeps grabbing to the bottom.
will see how that goes.

you guys are the best, tho.
