For ease of switching between the 2 interfaces you may want to install
and look into network-manager (sudo apt-get network-manager
network-manager-gnome). This application has a applet and normally
detects switching between devices. If your using ndiswrapper for your
wireless don't bother though because ndiswrapper and network-manager
don't work well together.
