I've done it moving a TPad from wireless to wired by plugging the TPad into a docking station that has the plug in it. Then, I've turned the radio off and double clicked the xWLAN icon to tell it to switch. [See the "Mouse Actions" tab in the xWLAN Properties.] Having said this, the process is not as reliable as it should be. Not totally because of xWLAN, but because the ACPI/APM is flaky and sometimes crashes/locks the system without regard to network settings. Sometimes the system just powers off. BTW, my system is a ThinkPad T60, eCS 2.0 RC2. Carl
