This may be somewhat OT, but I just happened upon this on the
IBM/Lenovo site:
"ThinkVantage? Access Connections"
http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/think/thinkvantagetech/accessconnections.html
"Avoid support costs by allowing users to seamlessly switch between
wired and wireless environments, managing security settings, printers,
home page and other location-specific settings automatically."
It also says:
"Access Connections works with Microsoft Windows XP and 2000 and is
conveniently installed on all new ThinkPad® notebooks."
Anyone seen or tried this? To those of you who understand such
technical details: Any chance of taking advantage of some of this to
port something similar for OS/2? It would surely respond to a number
of the questions that have appeared here.

Yes I use this utility on my works Thinkpad, it's pretty neat. That said, I would suggest that writing suitable scripts yourself for WLANMON and installing Genmac for both Wired and wireless connections, the same effect could be achieved.
