If I remember correctly the gadget is always there (just not visible), it gets reports from the wifiget application and only displays an icon when there's signal strength to report. It doesn't do anything to switch on/off the wifi it just constantly monitors it. You probably want to be looking at the Settings program to see what happens when wifi is switched on/off there (as that's actually switching the wifi chip on or off).
