Auto-disable AirPort when ethernet is active
Or you could make it easy. Go into the Network preference pane and change the service order to put Ethernet above Airport. Then it doesn't matter if Airport is on or not. Ethernet will take precedence. It's worked well for me for years.

My thoughts exactly RaceTripper. Is you solution as good as this complicated solution?

And if you have installed blueutil then you can start and stop bluetooth with it. I use this, because I only use the bluetooth mouse and keybord when using ethernet and my external monitor. So I can automatically deactivate bluetooth on the road to save a bit of battery. Here are the changes in the first function:

I have rank ordered it like you suggest, but the hint is clearly superior. If e.g. your wireless access has a limited pool of IP numbers (which is the case at my work), then not having wireless active when connected by ethernet will not use up an IP number. I also have occasionally had problems with waking up my laptop, when it would grab the wireless access instead of the ethernet. |
