The easiest and right way to do this is by editing /etc/network/interfaces.

Here is a simple example of /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
    metric 700

Restart networking using service networking restart for the changes to take place.

Ref: Section 5.7.2. The ifmetric package of Debian Manual

The following sets the eth0 interface to be preferred over the wlan0 interface.

Install the ifmetric package.

Add an option line with "metric 0" just below the "iface eth0 inet dhcp" line in "/etc/network/interfaces".

Add an option line with "metric 1" just below the "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" line in "/etc/network/interfaces".

Extra Note:

• auto <interface1> <interface2> starts interfaces on start of the system.
• allow-hotplug <interface> starts the interface on hotplug event.
