Thanks for this information, but using ethernet over wireless is not enough. Wireless stuff tends to stall the whole system for a fraction of a second at least, which is often too much already. A decision at boot-time would be enough for me. At home, where I do audio stuff, I need only ethernet. If the cable is plugged in at boot time -> ethernet, no wireless. At university I don't need audio and don't have ethernet access, no cable plugged in -> wireless. Of course I can start or stop one or the other if need be but I'm looking for the most care-free solution possible. Guess I'll need to script this somehow...
