Another useful package to use is ifplugd, this allows you to automatically activate the appropriate network if it is plugged in/available. This allows you to switch from Wired to Wireless without it doing silly things like attempting to bring up an interface when it isn't connected, causing all sorts of routing issues and booting delays.
