Hooking Docking Station up to WiFi router

Hello all,

I just got cable internet access and am setting up my system. I have a cable modem going to a D-link wifi router. What I would like to do is hard-wire my laptop's docking station to the router, so that when docked the computer is able to take advantage of the full speed of the cable connection. But I would also like to have a PC wifi card in the laptop so that when I undock I can access the internet wirelessly.

Will this work? I was thinking there may be some internal conflict if, for example, I try to access the internet while docked and the computer doesn't "know" what method (hard wire or wifi) I would like to use. Do I have to pull out the PC card every time I dock?

Thanks for any help
