Hmm, you could put the appropriate commands into the XWLAN script and 
set the TCP/IP configuration setting in XWLAN for all profiles to "none" 
(as it does not work for now anyway)..

Then the commands are executed automatically when wifi is connected or 
disconnected. In every case I see no reason to clear setup.cmd, instead 
only all config for the wifi interface should be left out of it (anyway) 
and then setup.cmd could be called on Wifi disconnect event to reset to 
the "cabled configuration". The config commands would be included into 
the XWLAN script within the connect event.

So you would switch between cabled and wireless just by changing between 
a dummy profile "cabled" which would connect to a nonexistant access 
point and fail with it, forcing the disconnect event (try any nonsense 
as SSID so that XWLAN will never connect) and a profile matching your 
access point, focing the connect event. IMHO this is a much more 
straight forward concept to change between cabled and wifi interface - 
much more simple and easier to use - instead of chasing icons.
