Sometimes, but not always. I haven't tested it on my girlfriend's laptop, but on mine, if the radio is off, I can't find an explicit indication. For me, I have a push-button kill switch. I know there are other switches, such as keyboard combinations and sliding switches, and even toggle switches. Aren't there software switches, too?
I'm looking for the full gamut here. I want to be an expert in POSIX wireless. It's a big pain. There's a lot to learn. This seems to be the most applicable question at hand, though; many people get stuck after their device is detected.
