You could set up your rc.conf to try to establish one kind of connection
(the one most likely to succeed), and stick a check in rc.local to check
if the connection exists, and if not to try connecting to the other kind
of network.

It might get messy if you need to change something for both networks and
you forget one. Recipe for tough debugging.

I like the rc.local way, but you might like something different...
