preferred network connections

I rotate between a static lan, dhcp lan, and various wireless networks daily. Is there a way to set preferred network connections? I use some static ip's daily, some static ip's like once a month, and almost never use the dhcp lan. The same I do with my various wireless networks. Some I use daily and others I use like once month. I hate my computer connecting to whichever network it feels like. I would like to have some kind of preferred network connections.

wireless - Wireless Tools and Wireless Extensions SYNOPSIS
iwconfig iwpriv -a DESCRIPTION
The Wireless Extensions is an API allowing you manipulate Wireless LAN networking interfaces. It is composed of a variety of tools and configuration files. It is documented in more detail in the Linux Wireless LAN Howto. The Wireless Tools are used to change the configuration of wireless LAN networking interfaces on the fly, to get their current configura- tion, to get statistics and diagnose them. They are described in their own man page, see below for references. Wireless configuration is specific to each Linux distribution. This man page will contain in the future the configuration procedure for a few common distributions. For the time being, check the file DISTRIBUTIONS.txt included with the Wireless Tools package. DEBIAN 3.0 In Debian 3.0 (and later) you can configure wireless LAN networking devices using the network configuration tool ifupdown(8).
