   Detecting Wifi   
   23 Feb 18 08:33:25   
   
   I have a laptop which insists on connecting to Wifi as soon as I get in,   
   whereupon the router it's connecting to can presumably get its MAC address. I   
   would like to stop this, but I would also like to know that I've been   
   successful, ie. that my MAC addr    
   is NOT being given out to anyone!   
   I have a Linux laptop as well, which has a Wifi adapter - my question is: how   
   do I use *this* laptop to detect the "connecting to Wifi sequence" of the   
   above? ie. exactly WHAT this thing is giving out?   
      
   Thanks for your help.
