In this case you might have grounds to enforce this restriction of the
network on the network controller itself, I suppose.
how would the network controller know if the software has been modified?
Not that you should disable the network controller entirely (this
would render the computer useless for many other purpose unrelated
with blocking connections to your network).
You could instead arrange for the network controller to send some
signal that enables the network to recognize that the device is
running certified software.
what sort of signal can the network controller send that couldn't be
forged by the OS?
how would you do this where the device is a receiver on the netwoek (such
as a satellite receiver)
