In short, maybe. To be sure, pull the card out.

If you're worried about the RF from WiFi, you'd better also take the
batteries out of your cordless phones, don't use the microwave oven, ditch
your cordless mouse, and beware of many other remote controls - some are
infrared, some use the same 2.4GHz band as all the above.

If I disable the WIFI card from the device manager, is it truly off?

My concern is the Electromagnetic energy that these cards put off...

new studies show that the amount of energy recieved from the user of a
laptop is very similar
as if you are using a cellphone, because it may be further away than a
cellphone but the duration of use is higher as well
as the frequency of the waves are lower thus they are being absorbed at a
higher rate by the body.

I am talking here about desktop computers with cards, but I would also like
to know if this applies to LAPTOP.

There is increasing concern about the negative effects of the EM waves...

I dont want to debate if there is danger or not since I posted this question
one time again in the past in another newsgroup
but only got wiseguy argumentive or joke responses and no one knew a real
answer.
If you dont know the answer to the question refrain from posting
your own theory about this phenomena please... and no tinfoil jokes please.

This is a serious matter.

so if I disable it from the device manager is the antenna truly off 100%?


THANKS
