[X4U] re: getting rid of the airport indicator in the menu bar

[Berndt Farwer]

actually there's no benefit for you in having that menu bar item for 
you. It only toggle AirPort(Card) on/off - to save energy - and lets 
you know the quality of the (wireless) signal you are receiving - which 
you are not being connected to the ABS by Ethernet. You can however 
have an Ethernet menu bar icon, which gives you quick access to the 
Internet Connect utility ...
