The wireless control settings include the following:
Disable Wi-Fi Transmissions: This setting globally disables all Wi-Fi adapters, up to and
including complete silencing of a built-in Wi-Fi radio.
You can choose to display a custom user message and hyperlink when the user attempts to
activate a Wi-Fi connection. See
more information.
Disable Adapter Bridge: This setting globally disables the networking bridge functionality
included with Windows XP, which allows the user to bridge multiple adapters and act as a hub
on the network.
You can choose to display a custom user message and hyperlink when the user attempts a Wi-
Fi connection. See Section 6.3.3, "Custom User Messages," on page 123
Disable Wi-Fi When Wired: This setting globally disables all Wi-Fi Adapters when the user
has a wired (LAN through the NIC) connection.
Disable AdHoc Networks: This setting globally disables all AdHoc connectivity; thereby,
enforcing Wi-Fi connectivity over a network (for example, via an access point) and restricts all
peer-to-peer networking of this type.
Block Wi-Fi Connections: This setting globally blocks Wi-Fi connections without silencing
the Wi-Fi radio. Use this setting when you want to disable Wi-Fi connection, but want to use
access points for location detection. See
information.
