Which distro is this? Is there a consistent hardware platform this
will be running on? If so, you could remove drivers for the specific
wireless device(s) fairly quickly.

I'm on Ubuntu, and this seems like a good place to start if I wanted
to kill my wireless:

$ dpkg -l wireless-tools |grep ^ii
ii  wireless-tools                            30~pre9-3ubuntu4
                       Tools for manipulating Linux Wireless
Extensions
