Quick question about DHCP reservations: I have laptops with both

both interface?
I seem to recall being able to do that, with the DHCP server on my
Fedora Core 4 installation (having two separate MAC matching clauses
that applied the same IP). Other servers may try to prevent you doing
that, as it can be problematic.
The client behaviour could be a bit wierd, especially if the client
doesn't completely bring down the interface that previously had the same
IP. On some clients, plugging in a cable doesn't disable or override
the wireless. You'd have to manually do so.
And lease expiry time wasn't an issue, that would only apply if I was
hoping for a dynamically supplied IP to be re-supplied. My
configuration was fixed IPs doled out by the DHCP server. So if your
MAC matched, you were assigned that IP, as long as something else didn't
prevent it.
