Another question on that matter: What is the prefered way to automatically 
poweroff the wireless if i connect a lan-cable, so that always only one of 
the network interfaces is powered?

Currently i start ifplugd via local and basically the following net-scripts:

net.eth0:
start(){
	iwconfig wlan0 down;
}
...

net.wlan0:
start(){
	iwconfig wlan0 txpower 5
	wpa_supplicant ...
}

this seems to work until i suspend the notebook. After resume i  have 2 
interfaces up again...


Any hints on this?


Mit freundlichem Gruß,
