A good practice might be to down the unused interface.
When using wired power-down wifi, as well as ifdown
` ` ` `
pre-up /sbin/ifdown wlan0
pre-up /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 txpower off
` ` ` `
When using wifi do the opposite.
You can also power-on wifi when wired is unplugged
` ` ` `
down /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 txpower on
` ` ` `
pre-up, pre-down, post-up,.. etc.. statements are very helpful...
