This is actually a partially-broken setup that involves more than
profiles - when you connect the Squeezebox to the PC, bridging will be
disabled.  You should find that the PC loses Internet access when the
LAN option is on.  When you turn the LAN function on, the Squeezebox
turns the wireless card off.

At any rate, it's a very, very rare setup.  Yours is the first mention
of such an arrangement.  You can file an enhancement request at
http://bugs.slimdevices.com (you'll have to create a new account) -
it's the only way the firmware developers can track it.

However, and I don't mean any offence here, it would not benefit many
people and firmware space is tight enough as it is.  Only the
developers can say for sure whether it will be worthwhile for other
issues though, and unless you put in an enhancement request, you'll
never know and it will never get done.

As a workaround, connect the PC to your router either using a cable or
a wireless bridge.  The cable is preferred because that will only make
it one wireless hop to your Squeezebox.  I understand that's part of
the reason you have the Squeezebox in the first place, but if you have
the Squeezebox close enough to the PC to wire it (and the Squeezebox
close to your stereo), why not use a long audio cable out of the PC to
the stereo and use the Squeezebox elsewhere?  This way the Squeezebox
will always be in communication over wireless for both SqueezeNetwork
and SlimServer.  Plus the PC will always have Internet access.
