I just had a demo of the AD product and was very impressed.  It was my
recommendation that we purchase it.  Very nice.

What firewall do you use. 

Anyone else that has experience with other 3rd party apps like airdefence
that was also mentioned .

That was a big consideration here, actually delayed our wireless
implementation untill infosec was absolutely happy with it. We did it
with a stateful desktop firewall that will only allow one active
connection at at a time and won't allow any bridging of connections.
Covers any NIC, wireless, aircards, modems etc. I think some of the HIPS
products would also provide that functionality.

Isn't it a vulnerability if said user has both segments (assuming the
wireless and the wired are separate) active?  Would this provide access
from one to the other (theoretically speaking)?

Are attacks on a wireless client card a real issue as of now?  If your
workstations are not setup as ad-hoc access points is this really a
valid threat?



I am not discounting the possibility, it is just not something I have
read about yet and I try to avoid FUD passed under the guise of
security.

No. I want the Wireless disabled when the Ethernet cable has a
connection to prevent the user from being able to attach to wireless
networks when connected to the corporate LAN and attacks on the wireless
card.

You can just change the order of the nics in the advanced network
properties. Does that do what you need ?

Lenovo has a program called Access Connections where you can set up
profiles to do this.  However I don't know if you can use on
non-Lenovo/IBM systems.  It is available on their site as a download.

That works wonderfully, however the Wireless is still open and if you do
not have it properly secured someone can attach to it wirelessly and try
to Hack in that way.  I would like to see if there is a way to do this
also for our wireless users.

I have never been able to find a GPO or app that will do this.
However you can set the weight on your network adapters.  Set a lower
value on the Wired NIC and a higher value on the Wireless NIC that way
the pc will always choose the Wired NIC if both have a connection.

Network Connections --> LAN Connection --> TCPIP --> Advanced -->
Uncheck Automatic Metric and put in an Interface Metric.  Lower gets
more weight.
