Handling wired and wireless interfaces

[Raju Kurunkad <rajukv@earthlink.net>]

Hi,

Is there some tool to differentiate between wired and wireless networks?  My
default network is wired, but I use a wireless sometimes. In those cases I have
to wait for the wired connection to timeout before using the wireless
connection. In there any workaround?

My /etc/network/interrfaces is:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# This entry was created during the Debian installation
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# wireless connection
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
        wireless_mode managed
        wireless_key xxxxxxxxxx
        wireless_essid yyyyyyyy


Thanks,
Raju
