In /etc/conf.d/net as usual, just disable iwconfig and wpa_supplicant
in modules_wlan0

You probably don't want to do that. It will give you two connected
routes for the subnet, and only the one with the better metric will be
used, so you wont be able to communicate with hosts on the other
interface. You could probably setup bridging, but IMO it would almost
certainly be better to just use different subnets.
I could be wrong though - try it and see what happens.
