Just wanted to add my thanks for such a clear guide that even a total linux novice like myself can follow. Worked a charm.

Thanks a lot for this post, I struggling to setup my wifi (broadcom device) in ubuntu 10.04 but after following your post i managed to set it up correctly and now i can use both wired and wireless correctly. Thanks again for this post….

Ahh, not sure if my reply got through..so here it is again:

Yes, it is fine to have both the WiFi connection and the eth0 connection running at the same time, just uncomment the two lines I told you to comment out. The only issue is that you will have a PC with two IP addresses. This means that some apps might use one IP address and some apps will use the other. This can, however, be really useful, since you can assign a bandwidth heavy app to the eth0 card and then use the WiFi card for everything else…

Is it possible to have both the wired and wireless connection start up automatically? I noticed you said to comment out the auto eth0 so there will be no conflicts. But ideally I’d like both connections to be active.
