I am running the most recent version (and updated) of OpenSuse on an older Toshiba Laptop. It has been a wonderful experience moving over from Ubuntu (which my wife still uses and likes but makes me a newby at least to KDE) but recently I ran into one issue. I can either connect to a WLAN or a wired connection but not both. Is there any way around this?
What I am trying to do is set up a Cobalt Raq3 (wired) as a file server and still use my wireless internet but Network Manager will only allow the wired when it is plugged in (even though both still say active.) After the server is set up I am planning on doing the same thing using Synergy to connect this laptop with my Windows desktop so it is not a one time deal.

I usually like to run using traditional ifup method and set the hard
wired nic to ifplugd for the start mode so that it takes over if plugged
in.
You COULD use both at the same time though, with each having a different
address, but might be confusing unless you understand the impact of
doing that.
