Basically what I'm doing is this: - using wpa_supplicant to associate my wireless card with the appropriate access point - using ifplugd to detect when an ethernet cable is connected and when the wireless card gets associated (by wpa_supplicant). When any of that happens ifplugd will call ifup ethx for the appropriate interface - both my wireless and ethernet device is set up in /etc/network/interfaces as: iface ethx inet dhcp (Note: no wireless parameters are necessary because association is handled by wpa_supplicant) This could be improved by adding mappings if dhcp is not suitable.
