My MythTV box doesn't have a keyboard or monitor and could be moved between TV aerial points. It has two network cards so can connect via cable or wireless.
Is there any way, at boot time, to get it to try the cable interface first and then, perhaps after a given time, to try the wireless interface and to keep trying both interfaces until it does find a connection?
You can use ifplugd to only bring up the wired interface if it has a link beat. Perhaps something like whereami might help in terms of deciding which network connection to fallback to.
