The most common control is for a power mode, for example when you're operating on battery and want to maximixe battery life, you set the appropriate power mode. Mine has 'enable automatic radio control': This allows IBM AC, or XP SP2, to turn off the wifi card when an ethernet connection is detected, for example.

I don't think you want to delete or disable the icon.

yeah, that is the icon for whatever card/driver you are using. I don't really think you can disable it if you wanted to. That stays, the T icon, which is AC can be stopped or ENDED and that will kill AC.

then, click on the little baby computers icons and one of them should be your wireless card, that gets you to MSFT zero configuration for wireless, if you like.
