Robert,

Wow. Well, this is going to be hit or miss.
I figure it must be WMI related. So, I tried a search
on Google for [ wmi wireless +dim ]. 37 hits.

I saw
"How to Detect Network Connection"
"Enable / Disable 802.1x with some script"
"Disabling Wireless Driver"
"WMI MSNdis_80211_ReceivedSignalStrength"

That MSNdis_80211 could be another search term.

I'm thinking the front-end will need to execute code before
connecting that will disable (well, how would you say it?)
wireless connections while the FE is open.
Good luck to you :)
I may need whatever your solution is someday!
