I actually hard coded this into the /usr/lib/netifrc/net files and with
/etc/init.d/net.eno1
and
/etc/conf.d/net => config_eno1="dhcp"

If I plug in an ethernet cable, it appears to prefer the wired interface (just checking the IP on the internet), and if I unplug it, it falls back to the wireless connection.

For systems that support route metrics, each route will be tagged with the metric, otherwise dhcpcd changes the routes to use the interface with the same route and the lowest metric".
