On my Dell D820, it's bios-selectable if the switch is enabled, or if
it controls just the 802.11 card, or 802.11 and bluetooth, or just bluetooth,
or 802.11 and mobile broadband, or ...

(Oddest part - said bios config screen offers the choices for bluetooth
and mobile broadband even though the hardware config doesn't include it. ;)
