Actually you can very easily use both interfaces.  I've done it a few
times to setup my laptop as a WAP for others when we didn't have one
hanging around :P

Anyway, in /etc/modules.conf set your aliases for eth0 and eth1 as S.
Anderson stated (modified for the appropriate drivers of course) and
everything should work correctly. Mine for an Orinoco Gold card looks
like this:

alias eth0 eepro100
alias eth1 orinoco_cs

Wireless _always_ comes up as eth1 this way for me on RH9.  On RH7.3 I
had to skirt the issue a bit by also forcing eth0 to be modprobed up in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local and remembering not to have the wireless card in
during boot.  It's much better with RH9 :)
