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.

BTW, my system is a ThinkPad T60, eCS 2.0 RC2.

Carl
