OS/2-eCS can do this also. 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.
