This is not supported in OpenBSD right now. You could put the ethernet and Wifi ports into a fail-over trunk, and switch between them, but that will not allow you to use them seperately. $ man 4 trunk includes an example of how to set this up, at the end. You can change the IP assignment to "dhcp", instead of fixing an IP address. -- Why did the Roman Empire collapse?
