[Casper] disable ad hoc networking

[Miles Leacy]

Thanks!  Could you explain what the "-ibss_admin" switch means? How would
this be undone if you needed to?
If your airport interface is not "en1", would you need to discover the
correct value and substitute it in the command? Isn't airport en2 on Mac
Pros and en0 on MacBook Airs?

Such as:
airport_interface=`system_profiler SPNetworkDataType| grep -A 1 "Hardware:
AirPort"` airport_interface=${airport_interface: -3}

expect -c 'spawn /usr/libexec/airportd $airport_interface -ibss_admin 1;
expect eof'


Thanks again for the great info!
