A slightly more secure approach is to create a script to do what you want
the user to be able to do and add that to /etc/sudoers. Then you control
how the commands are executed as well as which commands.

You could put "/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart" in a script and give it a
desktop icon or toolbar button, so he can restart the network with a
mouse click.
