If he plugs in an ethernet cable, he wants it to simply provide the
internet service.

If not, to look for available wifi's and connect automagically.

    This is achieved with net-tools, wpa_supplicant, wpa_gui, ifplugd or netplug, and some hack of the interfaces file and wpa_supplicant.conf. With recent version of net-tools, /etc/init.d/networking also needs some hack. And, of course, network-manager and wicd must be removed.

    Katolaz tells that setnet can do it. I haven't checked if it does it all.

    I must admit also that the logic of net-tools (ifupdown and the interfaces file) is rather convoluted, but it is highly flexible: allows a roaming wifi config, as well as multiple ethernet (static and dynamic); allows easy configuration of interface bonding, and probably many other things I don't know. A replacement which would be simpler while preserving the flexibility isn't for tomorrow. Yet it would be welcome.
