Don't forget hardware switch for wireless networking. Laptops used to come with that...

  The problem with the wifi switches was support. You would not believe how common it is for someone to flip those small switches accidentally and not even know its there. Then the support calls come in for wireless issues. The answer to "Did you check the wifi switch?" is almost always "What wifi switch?".

    And it only got worse when that moved to soft switches (e.g. "press Fn-F6 to toggle wifi"). Typically the on-screen feedback would only work in DOS, or would depend on a weird vendor utility, so there might not be any obvious indication when you switched it off.
