The wired NIC is integrated, so it always tries to look and if there's a connection, it works, if not, obviously no. If you're using PCMCIA wifi/wired NICs this is pretty trivial to accomplish. It's simply the lines:
pccard_enable="YES" pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" Put these in your rc.conf file. For more options see man rc.conf.
