Why are they on the same IP? On my notebook, they have different IP addresses, as provided by the DHCP server. While I have the addresses tied to MACs, the DHCP server won't allow assigning the same address to 2 MACs. Intentionally, to be able to ssh-in to the same name and IP from other computers, not needing to remember/know which interface is the lappy using this time.
Again, not necessary with Linux. Configure different addresses for Ethernet and WiFi, then work with the WiFi address, even when Ethernet is connected. That's all you need to do. Give it a try and see what happens. You're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
Last time I tried, years ago, it did not work. I'll try your way when I get back home.
Also, by insisting on using the same address for both interfaces, you're ruling out using DHCP.
Not really, depends on the server you can actually do it. On others, have one interface on dhcp, the other on fixed. Anyway, I prefer fixed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
