Auto disable wireless connection upon docking

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I just set up a new wireless network for my neighbour. When the computer is
connected by Cat 5, it automatically switches adapters. Wireless is
disabled and the Ethernet adapter becomes active. When the cable is
unplugged it automatically activates the wireless and connects.
