Having never had to resort to a PCMCIA card for wireless
networking, I'm a little surprised that using one means the wired
interface needs disabling. Can you not use the card with the older
interface still enabled?

No, it doesn't need disabling, but as I never us the wired interface,
I wanted
to remove the network not available icon from the system tray (just for
neatness).

That's a tick box option!


If you mean the hide icon option in the taskbar setup, it always re-appears
at the next boot up.
If there is some other option, please let me know.

Yep! Go to control panel, network connections, open the properties box
for the wired connector in your case and at the bottom of the Local
Area Connection Properties window are two possible tick boxes, untick
both boxes - no more icon for that connection and no more messages
about no connectivity etc..

You simply do not need normally to disable the wired network
connector.
