    Turning the wireless switch to the off position is one option

    In the BIOS there is an option to disable the bluetooth radio.

    That also disables the wireless adapter. However, after browsing through the BIOS I noticed there are several settings with regard to what gets turned off/on when using the switch. I set it to WIFI only and was able to disable BT in the BIOS.

    Thanks for the help guys!
