Disable WiFi while connected to secure LAN?

Greetings, your advice is needed.
I see through searches that Hardware Profiles are no longer supported
when shifting to Vista. This has me in fear of a MASSIVE security issue
unless I am missing something.
My environment:
I maintain a very secure Windows network(active directory), where Wi-Fi
is not allowed. I also utilize roaming profiles for my users, who are
also not allowed admin rights to anything.
When using a laptop, logging onto my LAN disable the Wi-Fi via the
hardware profile to prevent possible bridging between a secure LAN and
the outside world. Inversely, booting off my LAN enabled the Wi-Fi and
disabled the Ethernet.
How do I maintain this level of security with Vista Business or greater
(And before you ask, NO I do not trust my users :p )?
Does Vista have something more capable that I have not found yet?
Thanks,
MM
