Disable wifi when ethernet is activeWe have a security issue that when a computer is connected to the network by
it's lan adapter that it is not allowed that the same computer will contect to an open wireless ap. We want to protect our computers from this. Is there anybody that knows how we can disable the wireless card/interface when the lan adapter is active. Till now we only found the Odyssey client to do this. But we can't disable the functionality for our Users. It's just an option in the software that the user can change again. You may be able to address this with hardware profiles:
