[GRLUG] running wireless and ethernet at the same time

[Eric Beversluis]

I'm looking for a basic explanation of what happens, what the normal
behavior is, when a computer is connected to the same router (and so the
same LAN and same Internet connection) with both Ethernet cable and
wireless. I don't see anything on line addressing that basic question.

Does one (maybe the first to come up) just take all the traffic? Do they
somehow alternate or otherwise share the traffic? Does running both at
the same time create any problems? Where and how would the behavior get
determined?

Thanks.
