Disable Ad-hoc network?

Given recent news about scammers setting up ad-hoc wireless networks in
airports, I want to make sure my users don't connect to these. I don't seem
to be able to find a setting for this, but is there a way to use global
policy to disable the ability to connect to an ad-hoc wireless network?

Thanks
Brian

Hi
Windows Wireless Configuration has a entry that let you check connect only
to infrastructure networks.
Here how the menu look like, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless/wzc3.jpg

Thanks. I understand that part, but what I need is to be able to secure
user's laptops so they don't the option to connect to an ad-hoc network.

Those are great, but I don't have the option for wireless network policy in
my GP editor. Any suggestions?
