emerge ifplugd then use the functions in /etc/conf.d/net to do what you
want. This is what I use, where eth0 is the wired interface and eth1 is
wireless.

# ADVANCED CONFIGURATION

preup() {
	if [ ${IFACE} == "eth0" ]; then
		/etc/init.d/net.eth1 --quiet status && touch /tmp/eth0_paused_eth1 && /etc/init.d/net.eth1 pause fi
	return 0
}

postdown() {
	if [ ${IFACE} == "eth0" ]; then
		if [ -f /tmp/eth0_paused_eth1 ] && /etc/init.d/net.eth0 status | grep --quiet inactive ; then rm -f /tmp/eth0_paused_eth1
			/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start 
			fi
		fi
	return 0
}
