It does however sound like a quite reasonable need.

I can imagine a startup script based solution, but it has a number
of issues (race condition on net stack initialization vs startup
script timing, etc..), but then there is issue of people like myself
that almost never reboot the laptop, instead hibernating it, etc..

You no doubt noticed the other post, about same time as this
wanting to disallow use of moden when network is connected
to the corp net, and its implied not interferring with use of the
modem when not on the corp net, its implied killing off of an
existing modem if the ether comes into the stack by a net sense
event, etc..
All very real needs.
