Until the 'IP disabled' problem is resolved, the best approach is to
remark out all ifconfig statements but the localhost configuration from
d:\mptn\bin\setup.cmd.  The manually run scripts to setup/.change
between the wired and wireless nics.  The following are the scripts I
use:
 

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.
