Update to Snow Leopard Bug

So it seems that there is an easier way to switch the network settings.

Create a new network location (I called mine “Wired Reset”). Switch location to “Wired Reset.” Hit Apply. Switch back to “Automatic.” Good news is that this can be accomplished via AppleScript. I know there are more elegant ways to script system preferences, but I tried another and it didn’t reliably work.

The script

tell application "System Events"

tell application "System Preferences"

activate

reveal pane id "com.apple.preference.network"

end tell

tell window "Network" of process "System Preferences"

tell pop up button 1

click

pick menu item "Wired Reset" of menu 1

end tell

delay 1

click button "Apply"

end tell

tell window "Network" of process "System Preferences"

tell pop up button 1

click

pick menu item "Automatic" of menu 1

end tell

delay 1

click button "Apply"

end tell

quit application "System Preferences"

end tell
