(1) IBM Access Connections is not fiendishly difficult to configure.
There is a profile wizard for creating as many location profiles as you
want, whether wired (ethernet) or wireless (WiFi).

(2) You do not need to manually switch between wired and WiFi when
using Access Connections.  Simply click on "Location Switching" on the
top menu bar and click on "Switch Ethernet and Wireless Location
Profiles Automatically"

(3) To get into "the thing", go to Start > All Programs > Access IBM >
IBM Access Connections.  On the top menu bar, click on "Options" then
on "Global Settings", and check the box for "Show wireless status icon
in task tray".  (Note: you must be logged on as Administrator to change
some of the settings.)  Now you will have an icon in the task tray at
the lower right of the screen.  Just click on the icon to open the
program.
