For those following along at home:
Yeah, done and done. From root's history it looks like I actually
deleted the whole wireless directory from out of the collection of
kernel modules. That's kind of good news, because it should mean that
she can just reinstall the driver packages and be on her way. The
history also showed that it was an ipw2200 driver, so I think the fix is
close at hand. Also, I have a dear friend and geek near her who is
ready and able to be physically dispatched to help, which is totally
above and beyond.
Also, the "firewall by mac" suggestion is totally reasonable, but the
comment about allowed use in front of parents was right on. Also, they
have a Verizon branded FIOS 2-in-1 thingy. I think I glanced at the
interface, rolled my eyes, and moved on. That, or I just wanted to deal
with machine itself.
Not the most elegant hack, but it allowed her to keep root access in
case she wanted to play or install things, and I felt like if she
figured it out, she deserved to have access in her room. Her parents
sort of agreed.

connected with an ethernet cable and doing a reverse shell to get
access......
If the shell was not used much, and the last thing you did was take out the
wireless, you might be able to just use the history from the commands and
find out exactly what you did.
