I do not understand. I use my laptop with 2 nic's. 1 at work with 
gigabit cable and 1 at home with wep. Both work flawlessly in regardi to 
network access. ( i have a centrino laptop)

my /etc/network/interfaces regarding eth1(wireless) :

auto eth1

iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid <insert ESSID here>
wireless-key <insert hexvalue here>
