I have a linksys wireless router that has security setup with a WPA Shared Key. I have two iBooks that are shared by my wife and kids. I had hoped to be able to restrict my kids access to wireless networking by not telling them the Shared Key but it turns out that once my wife connects to the network via her user login then all users on that iBook automatically connect to the network without needing to enter the key.

I had hoped I could force users to enter the password (shared key) everytime they want to connect to the wireless network but that is not the case. I posted this question on the linksys forums and was told it cannot be forced through the router itself.

So, my question is whether there is anyway through the Max OSX networking that I can force users to reconnect to the network and enter the network key with each new session? Or, anyway to disable wireless by user account?
