Well, in my case it decided to use eth2. Might be because my ethernet
module device (tg3) is builtin my kernel.

It doesnt really matter since you can put a list of several device to
connect. The config file (on debian, don't know if ubuntu changed this)
is in /etc/network/interfaces. I think the dhclient/pump or any other
dhcp client will try the device in order. Heres what mine look like :

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

Still not sure where to put the iwconfig stuff yet...
