    You can only have one default gateway. Is there any reason why you need
    to have both NICs on at the same time?
    If not, you can turn on one, while using the other. I wrote a couple of
    scripts, to switch between ethernet and wireless, which shut down one
    NIC and then start the other. Another method, would be to use profiles.
      You could create two profiles. one using ethernet and the other, wifi.
      You can then switch between the profiles as desired. You can also
    select the desired profile at bootup, if you add them to the boot menu.
