I'm wondering in what ways the wifi component of the X370 chipset able to be disabled, completely. I doubt there's jumpers or a hard switch, can anyone confirm it can be done in the bios of any of the current motherboard models?
Ideally this "feature" wasn't present at all, but I'd settle for just disabling it and verifying it isn't transmitting or emitting anything.

Just disable it either in Windows device manager or network.

Does this cut power to it though? I don't know much about how embedded chips tend to work.
I'd assume if it's disabled it wouldn't be listening or communicating at all, but don't know. I don't have one and can't really test.

Cut the power to the chip? No. Stop the WiFi signal? Yes.

That would be good enough.

Either through the BIOS or disable the wifi driver on the GRUB bootloader or in the OS with modprobe
