Unfortunately I don't think you can set it up to automatically disable the wireless adapters. Microsoft removed hardware profiles a while ago, I think it was in Windows 7. Which version of Windows are you running on that system, and which wireless card is installed? It's possible that the wireless card utility, if it's one of the Intel cards, may have that functionality as a setting you can adjust.
There is a wireless switch on the right side of the E6440 that you can use to simply turn off your WiFi when you're plugging in the ethernet cable. That might be the easiest way to do it, although it's not manual.
Let me know which Windows version you're running and which wireless card and I'll be happy to look into it a bit further for you.
