Or just use the airport icon...

If you have it setup to use the airport by default in the network control panel (i believe it uses the top connection first), you should be able to just click on the airport icon and 'disable airport'.

Don't even need to open a control panel or run a script. Its there all the time. To get back to the Airport network you re-enable it.

OS X is pretty smart about switching connections, you can even disable one in the middle of a Finder copy and it will just suddenly go faster or slower depending on the connection.

I use your method for file transfer to my server, the Appletalk connection is much slower. But I've always had trouble switching the Appletalk connection when I want to print. Is there any way to have Location Manager automatically turn Appletalk off on the Airport and on on the Ethernet?
