this seems to be hardware dependent from my experience. In my Dell I can 
use both (or rather the computer is aware of both even if a cable is in 
the wired socket or not) while on an HP I installed a couple of weeks 
only one is active - and the wireless simply "disappears" when you 
insert a cable.
