CentOS - Feb 2006 - wired network switch to wireless if not active

All,

I am wondering how one PC with a wired and wireless connection
can have the wired IP active as long as there is a connection then if the
wired connection goes away to then automatically,  go wireless, then
if wired comes back alive go back to wired.

Is that kind of setup possible, if so how.

This unit is always on - I just want whichever network is active and
faster to be the active connection. The IP addresses for wired would 
192.168.1.10
and wireless 192.168.1.20. GW is 192.168.1.1.

Thanks,

Jerry

Jerry,

I thought this could be handled through the metric option to the route
command, but now I'm not so sure.  My test config was a little different
than you proposed.  My wireless is not on the same subnet as my wired.

Anyway, you might take a look at ifplugd.
