Using Apple internal airport card ? I have no problem with this
setup. I have eth based networking at work and airport based
networking at home. I have a couple of shell scripts to switch
my setup and they work just fine at any moment. I can ifup/down
etc... both airport and ethernet regardless who was "active" when
going to sleep etc..
