Unable to Switch from Wireless to Ethernet When Docked

You may be unable to switch between Wireless and Ethernet network connection automatically when you dock your system. The on board Ethernet connection works as well as the Wireless network connection. After the system is docked the Wireless network connection remains on instead of switching to the Ethernet connection of the docking station. Manually switching (FN + PrtScr) does not disable the Wireless connection and after disabling Wireless manually the system will reconnect to the Wireless network even while docked.
