What hardware? A suitable lspci list might help.

Mine shows:

root@jhegaala:~# rfkill
ID TYPE      DEVICE                   SOFT      HARD
 0 bluetooth tpacpi_bluetooth_sw   blocked unblocked
 3 wlan      phy2                unblocked unblocked
root@jhegaala:~# 

Then if I use the physical switch to turn off any transmitters, I see:

root@jhegaala:~# rfkill
ID TYPE      DEVICE                 SOFT    HARD
 0 bluetooth tpacpi_bluetooth_sw blocked blocked
 3 wlan      phy2                blocked blocked
root@jhegaala:~#
