Security: Disable Wireless While Connected to Wired?

Asked by SheaDigital in Windows Network Security Questions, Network Security

A majority of our users use laptops. We have bridging of network adapters disabled via group policy.

Is there a security need to disable the wireless card while connected to a docking station and connected via a wired connection?

The only way I can figure out how to accomplish this is via hardware profiles. So I'm trying to figure out if its worth running around and touching each individual laptop and configuring hardware profiles on it. This is a lot of work as I would have to track down and touch almost 200+ laptops.

I will split the points with all who respond over the next 24 hours with an explanation as to why or why not.
