Disabling bluetooth and wireless

["C.T.F. Jansen" <frank.jansen@actrix.gen.nz>]

Greetings,
         What is a method for disabling bluetooth and wireless on a
laptop with Debian 5.0 ? The radio link switch on the side can be moved
accidentally so the system needs to be modified to stop use of bluetooth
and wireless.
 I disabled a number of daemons to do with bluetooth and wireless, can
the computer now no longer be accessed by an external station and will
an application trying to use bluetooth or wireless fail to do so ?
 Ethernet is not needed so it can be broken.
The system uses PPP over a USB port and then to the serial port on a modem
to do dialup etc to an ISP.

 The list of daemons disabled is :

          networking
          network-manager
          network-manager-dispatcher
          bluetooth
          ifupdown
          avahi-daemon
          wpa-ifupdown

 These would all have been disabled anyway during the lockdown phase in
the implementation. Securing wireless and bluetooth needed to be done
sooner because the drivers for both are active so its possible that
crackers etc in the area can penetrate this system at any time.

 Do the drivers for wireless and bluetooth need to be disabled ? perhaps
using modprobe or something else ? If so, how does one do this and is it
documented anywhere ?

 Debian is great but the documentation is sparse and often widely
distributed. Exactly what the daemons listed above do and the effect is
of disabling them has not been discovered yet.

 Information websites that
require a response to their port access attempts above 31000 can't be
accessed by this particular system. This includes some of the Debian
websites, time this "feature" was removed.

 Thanks in advance.
