Where they can affect each other is in things like the default
route. Is your default route through the wired or wireless
connection? If your wired connection goes down, should your wireless
connection become the defaults route. Or should the wireless
connection have preference when it comes to the default route? Do
both interfaces provide a route to the Internet?

One situation that I would expect to be fairly common is a laptop
that uses a wireless connection to the Internet, but gets plugged in
when you are back at your desk. You would want the wired connection
to take over when it is there, but the wireless connection to take
over when you unplug. You would probably want the wireless
connection to go down when the wired connection is plugged in.

Another that happens to me often is I want both active. I also need to choose which provides the default route, it's not always the same.
