Wired Laptop Policy

Please forgive me as I am brand new to Endpoint Security. After upgrading to ZCM 11 I'm excited to have this feature and am primarily interested in creating a wired laptop policy. In looking at some of the other postings I see references to a "Disable Wi-Fi When Wired" feature but I'm not seeing anything similar to this as I'm going through the WiFi Policy.

What I'm ultimately looking to do is create a policy so that if the laptop is in a wired (or docked) state that the WiFi is disabled, but if the LAN cable is unplugged or laptop is undocked WiFi will become available. Something else that I noticed in a few posts were that it looked like other people had to restart their systems after changing the wired status, is this usually the case? It would seem a bit counterproductive. I often have situations where someone will have a docked laptop and they would remove it to take to a meeting room where we have WiFi with internet only available. Thanks for any direction you can provide!

    I found that the policy that I am looking for was under Communication Hardware Policy rather than WiFi Policy. Now that I've configured for how I think it is supposed to behave I'm seeing some behavior that I'm not sure if it is normal. I'm seeing the network connection toggle between wired or wireless depending on if I plug in my cable or not, but I'm not seeing anything preventing connecting to WiFi if the laptop is connected to the LAN. What am I missing in the policy? Thanks!
