Is there a script to tweak the registry key that we can used to
detected if wireless and wired NIC has been enabled simultaneously.
Under this condition, the wireless NIC shall be disabled.

It is possible to bridge wireless and wired NIC in XP. Thus, this is
why we want a script that disable the wireless NIC and left the wired
NIC active.

Any out there can help. Thanks

The user login as local administrator of the laptop and thus he/she has
all the administrative right / privilege to select the wired and
wireless interface and than bridge them together.
