Hei Bob, everything ok with you? ;-)

An unconfigured eth0 interface is almost like a non-existing one.
However, make sure it is really unconfigured...hotplug might try
configuring your network devices as well. So check if ifplugd really
unconfigures it properly - if you happen to have any trouble.

Also - an alternative to unconfiguring the device is to change the
systems default route to the wireless interface as long as it's up.
This way you could still have something else connected to eth0.

Andr=E9.
