Bummer.

If you cannot disable the wireless port, and physically
replacing these isn't an option, can you at least configure
them so that the wireless port is useless ? Ideas like
blocking *all* mac addresses from the wireless port,
configuring encryption etc spring to mind. It's not like
a hacker would have any traffic to snoop.

It looks like this unit has an internal antenna, plus an
optional (RP-SMA) antenna jack under a flap in the top
of the unit. I can't see a way to force it to use that
jack, and it obviously has an internal antenna too,
so adding a dummy load on that is probably a waste
of time.

I think neutering the wireless port is probably the best you
can do, if I understand your situation and the device correctly.

i did like the idea of putting them in a metal box of some sort,
though - if you're open to lateral thinking :)
