[LUG] OT: Windows XP Laptops

 

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'd like to be able to configure Windows laptops so that the wireless
interface is switched on only when there is no ethernet connection.
Whilst Windows has the ability to switch network interfaces on and
off purely by software and has "media sense" to detect if a network
cable is connected there appears to be no obvious way to have the latter
control the former.

With OSS this sort of thing would be fairly easy, but since Windows is
proprietary I wouldn't even know where to start.
