[TriLUG] Blocking a linux laptop (Mint 17) from connecting to an open wifi ap.

[Kevin Otte via TriLUG]

Untested theory: From your account, create a profile for the open AP in
Network Manager making sure "All users may connect to this network" is
unchecked in the General tab.

You could also disable the WiFi in the firmware and require them to plug in.

There's an open onein my neighborhood that's close enough to our house to be accessed and i don't want the kids to be able to connect to it andthereby bypassing our router with parental controls.
