why do i need control point connection manager?

Hi,

I have a precision m4400, and im wondering why i need the controlpoint connection manager. Its huge! i just downloaded the updated version and its 400mb. What makes it worse is that it dosent even manage my wi-fi connection. the version supporting the intel wifi card is only gonna be out next year.

cant vista manage all my connections?

would appreciate some advice or thoughts on why i should keep it instead of just uninstalling it, cos to me it seems to be just bloatware.

cheers

 

You don't need it at all, unless you want something to alter which connection from modem, wwan, ethernet (and eventually wlan) you use depending on where you are, and also to set your ip addess, proxy etc to match.

I've already got proxy swithcers and netsh.exe batch files to manage that for me.
