I have a tablet PC fitted for wired and ethernet. At home I use wireless
but when traveling I often use ethernet. To make the switch: I disable
wireless before powering down. It's probably not really necessary to
disable wireless but I do it anyhow. I then do a full power down - not
Hibernate. Then attach the ethernet and power up again. While so many
devices can be hot plugged these days, I don't consider ethernet cables to
be one of those. So far I've had no trouble using ethernet on the road.
