My laptop is set to start wifi on boot. Sometimes I have to switch to ethernet. I have noticed that if I set the ethernet interface to up and plug a cable in, I have an IP on both interfaces (so i3status says). For good measure I always set the wlan interface to down, but I'm always curious as to what actually happens. I wish I could elaborate more on my set up but I installed it a year ago, it's worked ever since, so I honestly cannot remember what I am using. -- benoliver999.com
