I am not saying this is the best method but it seems to work.  I have 
the vpc mac driver with tcpip on lan0.  My wired card is configured to 
use it.  I then have tcpip on lan7 set to my wireless card. I am using 
dhcp for both the wireless and the wired lans but as you can't have both 
set to dhcp in the tcpip settings I have not enabled lan7.   I then have 
the wlan widget set to put my wireless set to dhcp on lan0.  This has 
allowed me to use the wireless without having to reconfigure anything.  
The only thing I do have to do is switch the lan to something other than 
lan0 and then back to lan0 (in the widget) in order for it to grab it.
