1 Thanks you all for the replies. After looking at each I decided to
2 use quickswitch. It works well except for one thing. I have two home
3 configurations: hardwired & wireless. If I boot up using my wireless
4 card and later decide to switch to my hardwired connection,
5 quickswitch does not take down the wireless connection. So, both are
6 active at the same time. How can I disable the old connection using
7 quickswitch?
