Try ConnectNow. This allows you to place multiple widgets on the desktop to toggle connections on/off.

Once switched off from WifiSwitcher even ConnectNow will give an error re connecting to Wi-FI.
For ConnectNow to work wi-fi access has to be switched on again from WifiSwitcher

But WifiSwitcher acts as a hardware switch just like on-off switch on laptop. Once wi-fi module is off you can't use any software to connect unless the wi-fi is switch back on.

Is there a widget for the famous Wifi Switcher applet? I use this a lot and would really prefer just a switch on and off widget that does the same as the applet in the notification tray.
The script returns 2 if it disabled the WLAN and 0 if it's been re-enabled by it.

Here's an utility that will automatically switch off wireless when connected to ethernet via a wire:
