Vista Newtowrking issue

Guest

I have a Dell Lat D820 which i just upgraded from XP to Vista Business.

I use the laptop on a docking port. With XP and on the docking station it
would automatically find the LAN connection and disconnect the wireless card.
When i undock the laptop it would automatically connect the wireless card and
disconnect the Lan card. Under VISTA it wont do the same? I have to manually
turn on and off which ever i need and if i dont both will be on and i dont
know which it is using. Does anyone know how to set it up the way i had it on
XP?? HELP
