Two interfaces on the same network

I'm still not sure why your two networks wireless and wired cannot have
different networks.  If you do not have a wireless node on your wired
network to allow wireless users onto the wired network, simply set your
wireless interface to one subnet, the wired to another network and allow
routing of packets between the two networks.  No?
