I would expect the wifi to work independently of other interfaces. I don't think there is any way to tie them together, except perhaps with NetworkManager?
Why would you want them to be tied together? It's entirely possible the WiFi and Ethernet connections are to entirely different networks. In the event they're on the same one, routing should give priority to Ethernet.
I expect the wifi to disconnect on connection of the wire, but this does not happen on my laptop on Linux (it does on Windows), I have switch it off manually. Else they collide, the logs fills with martians. However, in the case of the OP it says "wireless is hard blocked", so I expect the user would have to push some button to activate it. Most laptops have one. Albert, your problems seem to be hardware related, but maybe you said that it happened to you on other laptops? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
