A mobile station (MS) (100) is capable of communicating user information
through both a wireless connection (224) and a wired connection (222).
The MS establishes (502), between the MS and a communication device coupled
to the communication system, a first one of the wireless connection and the wired
connection, the wired connection existing through a wired local area network (LAN).
The MS communicates (504) a first portion of the user information between
the MS and the communication device through the first one of the wireless connection
and the wired connection. Subsequently, the MS establishes (506), between
the MS and the communication device a second one of the wireless connection and
the wired connection, the second one different from the first one. The MS then
communicates (508) a second portion of the user information through the
second one of the wireless connection and the wired connection.
