If you know what your device is you can always blacklist it so the driver won't load. It's really a half-baked fix, but it works better than nothing. As for the term "kill switch" on an HP Pavilion, they have this nice little physical switch on the front of the laptop that is SUPPOSED to enable/disable the RF side of things on the integrated NIC. Something that it appears to do- but what NetworkManager doesn't take into account is that you can have that situation and still have viable, active NICs. It's gotten a partial implementation based off of some flawed assumptions.
