Wireless NICs

Hi All

I have a customer who wants to have the PC wireless NIC card disabled if an ethernet cable is plugged into the PC and is active.

Does anyone know if this is possible or if there wireless client utilities that do this?

Thanks as always.

Hi,

I am telling the same thing..

I am using CSSC as the wireless client driver to connect to the Wireless.. when i connect the lan cable my wireless gets off!!!

This is done like this..

LAPTOP >> My network connections >> Right Click on the LAN >> Properties >> Enable the CLient service used for Wireless.

This will do it!!
