Chris, you can use both connections at once. You can receive a signal from the wired NIC and then broadcast from your wireless card to use your computer as a wireless router. You can do the opposite as well: grab onto a wireless signal and pass it on to another computer over a wire (for instance, if that one doesn't have a wireless card).
