Customer always raise strange requests especially to meet those tech-idiot guys' requirement, this question is the same, I asked them the same question, why bother on this, it's too simple to disable the wireless manualy. However they says for high lever managers, they don't know how to do it---are they really high lever? or low level?
Yes, we know both wireless and wired card will be up and get two different IP addresses, its the same as a router having two interface. By default WINXP will select the faster one(in some system, maybe need additional patch, the WINXP is not so smart to use it, sometimes just make the system hung there or running very slow). However although the wireless card maybe not be used to tx/rx, but it is up and ready to tx/rx, so this customer's concern is that this may open a back door for security because in their network, wireless and wired connnection has different security level, wired is for internal usage, wireless is for visitor usage. That's why they want to disable wireless when wired is available.
I told them this should be achieved by laptop manufacture or some SW developer, however they want me to provide them some idea is there any solution existed in the market. I have no idea on the existing solution for diferent vendors, HP/DELL/Toshiba, that's why I asked this question in this forum.
Jeff, thanks for your idea, now at least I know Fujitsu has a application for their laptops. 5 points for your valuable input!
