   HI,
      You can't have one on both.  What you have here is 2 hots.  One switched for your light, and the other constant for your fan.  
              The way your remote unit works is you can have it remote only, by hooking up the constant (fans black) to the black Line wire on your receiver.  
             Or have the remote "switched" by hooking the receivers Line wire up to the black coming from the wall switch.  With this second scenario your switch will only kill the power to the remote.  You'd still need the remote to turn the fan off or on.
            So, what your wanting..
   
   "How do I correctly wire it to the ceiling so that I can still use the wall switch for the light and the remote control for the both the fan speed and the light?"
   
          won't work, But you can separate them by having your light or fan work off the wall switch, and the other off the remote.  Or just have the remote work both, or eliminate it and keep the set up you have now.  Light off wall switch, and fan operated by its pull chains.
         Sorry, but those are your only options here.  To get what your wanting (light off wall switch and light and fan off remote) would mean to attach the light's load wire to the remote And the switched hot wire.  Which would trip the breaker as soon as you turned it on by remote.  You can't have 2 "hots" in one wire nut.
