I don't know that it's directly possible. The way I would try to achieve
this is working with DNS, looking into dynamic registration of your
laptop's A record.

If that's not feasible, an alternative may be to have the two IP
addresses associated with your laptop's A record; perhaps Bacula's
network code would try them sequentially. Not to be used with
round-robin DNS, though. Also, it won't work if the addresses are
dynamically assigned.

And if the machines on your wired and wireless networks are assigned
different DNS domain suffixes, then this won't work.
