Thank for your answer, but your answer is incomplete. Are the wifi
card and bluetooth card removable from the ARM netbooks I listed?

What do you mean by AFAIK? How to disable the wifi driver at the
boot-loader? Does disabling the wifi driver and bluetooth driver from
the boot-loader prevent them from being visible when the computer is
booting up before the OS boots up and when the computer shuts down
after the OS shuts down but before the computer is completely off? In
i86 computes, disabling the wifi and bluetooth in the BIOS was not the
solution. They turned on when the computer booted up, turned off when
the OS started but turned on again when the computer was shutting
down.
