Vista appears to use the same "terms" for setting up a wired /
wireless LAN connection. It permits you disconnect from either
networks. XP treats wireless and / wired networks differently. You
can disconnect from wireless network but you can only disable wired
network. However, whenever a wired network is disabled, XP will
remove the icon from the System Tray. You will have to access the
Control Panel --> Networking so as to "enable" it.

OK thanks very much, this answers my question.
Initially I thought I was missing some point because of this inconsistency,
but then it seems not.
Question solved. I'll have to live with it.
