We 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:

Hi
The following is Not a form of protection but can help in forcing the use of
the cable connection when it is available. http://www.ezlan.net/metrics.html
