Yes, I do:

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=no
HWADDR=00:0e:35:aa:4f:61
METRIC=10
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no
WIRELESS_MODE=Managed
WIRELESS_ESSID=any
NEEDHOSTNAME=yes

not much, only the wired nic is up:

172.26.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0  
eth0
0.0.0.0         172.26.0.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0  
eth0

When the radio light is lit, iwlist eth1 scan says something like:
