This sounds like a straightforward issue that can be solved in one
component (NetworkManager), and it just needs someone to work with
upstream and get it done.

have static IP entries defined in NetworkManager, with neither on
automatic. Then I just disconnect one before connecting the other, and
my laptop roams between wifi and wired ethernet seamlessly.
