Is there any reason you can't just disable the nic in device manager &
the wireless service in services.msc before doing the clone?  (Assuming
it's just patched_laptop_master_image > clone_laptops)

The nic & service will stay disabled in the new clones & users won't be
able to reenable them without Admin privileges.  I've just done a load
of laptops like that without problems (Ghost / 2k & XP).
