Default Windows 7 Wireless Connection

This is admittedly a very minor issue. But it bugs me in a minor way.

I switched to a new Windows 7 laptop this week. I want to use it on my LAN, but it always stubbornly disconnects that and reconnects via wireless.

When I uncheck the wifi properties option to "connect automatically," the system cheerfully changes back to wifi anyway and rechecks that box.

Okay yes, I'm connected either way but my previous laptop did not have a mind of its own and the wifi stayed disconnected when I told it to.

There is a function key to enable/disable wireless as needed, but I shouldn't have to be messing with that.

Is there a way to set the LAN as default that I'm not seeing?
