If I plug a cat5 cable in, my wlan0 becomes unuseable. Are the Ethernet and WiFi connections on the same network? If so, only one will be usable. This is entirely normal, due to something called "metric". This represents the cost of using the connection and the lowest cost will be used. Use the "ip route show" command to see what

Here's an exampe with my notebook computer:
ip route show default via 172.16.1.1 dev eth0 proto static metric 100 default via 172.16.1.1 dev wlan0 proto static metric 600 172.16.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.42 metric 100 172.16.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.40 metric 600
