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

[Stephen Bryant via TriLUG]

I believe it’s possible to have network-manager require a root password to change network settings, would that be a possibility? I seem to recall having a lot of fun getting wifi to work *without* a root password in the past.

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.
