I found this solution not satisfying, but don't remember why. I guess some corner cases.
I have bonded the interfaces on my laptop. The bonding driver will prefer using the wired when it is connected. Here is my /etc/conf.d/net: # eth0 config_eth0=( "null" ) # wlan modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext" config_wlan0=( "null" ) modules_wlan0=( "!plug" ) ifplugd_wlan0="--api-mode=wlan" # bond slaves_bond0="eth0 wlan0" dhcpcd_bond0="--noipv4ll --nolink -t 15" config_bond0=( "dhcp" ) Regards, Kfir
