Hi Tyler,
I think, it depends on, if you are using network-manager or wicd. For myself I 
am using wicd which in my case is working better than network-manager.

Rermeber: network-manager is only working, if /etc/network/interfaces is NOT 
configured, whilst wicd is working with it. 

I guess, you will have to test, which way is better for your needs.

Good luck!

Hans
