ipconfig /release is not working, why is that?

here is a sequence where I put my cable in get an IP, try ipconfig /release and it tells me it can't release wireless, but there is no wireless connection. i'm just trying to release the wired one.

 C:\>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration


Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:

        Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected

Fine so I plug my cable in

C:\>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration


Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:

        Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

C:\>ipconfig

        Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected

Fine so from above, it clearly has an iP

C:\>ipconfig /release

No operation can be performed on Wireless Network Connection while it has its me
dia disconnected.
