    Well this is only my assumption and speculation: When the laptop sees the Ethernet connection wouldn't it be logical to disable 3g connection so data is only transmitted over Ethernet instead of 3g. This will help save power and data usage over 3g (many providers have stupid caps). However this can be a pain if you're trying to allow other access to your 3G connection.
    My current laptop does this, when I plug in Ethernet WiFi is disabled unless I tell windows that other devices can use it as a hotspot.
