Just a note, my laptop has both WiFi and an Ethernet connection.
Occasionally I forget to turn off the wireless radio, and according to the
system tray icons, BOTH the wireless and Ethernet connections are active
simultaneously. I always turn off the WiFi radio only because I don't want
that to use system resources while maintaining a wired network connection.
Just my thoughts, FWIW...

Hi, why would you need to disable the wifi? Every laptop has dual
ethernet and wifi except the most modern ones which seem to be doing
away with the ethernet or so I'm led to believe.

You look a little burned out my friend. I guess it must be up to me.
