I don't understand the question. Could you please clarify the nature
of the bandwidth service and what the laptop user is trying to
accomplish?

We have users that sometimes abuse our wireless policy. Is there a way
I can disrupt connectivity to the wireless area and users via a
notebook or iPAQ? This would be something like a hack to cause a
denial-of-service attack, without physically unplugging the access
point?
 And i want to know if i would be using any software to do that.
   thank you.

I don't think emulating a denial-of-service attack would be a good
idea. Just set up your wireless access points with password-protected
encryption. That way only people with the correct passwords (or those
you set up) will be allowed on the wireless network.

I have instructions for doing this at the link below. See section #2,
called "Enable WPA or WPA2 encryption":

Andy, ...Very Nice overview of "Wireless Network Security Basics" 

In fact, your whole site is fantastic, except it's in frames (can't
link directly to pages)...     :=(

And Andy, you have a lot of references to Google in your site...     ;=)
