Check out Wireless AutoSwitch at http://www.wirelessautoswitch.com it

 

does what you are asking.

 

 

 

What is Wireless AutoSwitch?

 

 

 

Wireless AutoSwitch runs as a service and will automatically disable

 

your wireless card when you connect to a LAN (hard wire) connection, and

 

re-enable the wireless card when there is no LAN connection. This

 

ensures that you are always using the fastest connection for network

 

traffic. In the office this helps reduce redundant network connections,

 

while still helping your employees seamlessly transfer from wired to

 

wireless network connections.

 

 

 

For offices that are wireless security conscious this application makes

 

sure the laptop's wireless card is off when the user is wired into your

 

network, preventing bridged connections and preventing someone from the

 

outside hacking your network through a laptop's wireless card.
