   You will have to find out why the switch was there in the very very   
   beginning! Who said it's needed? Something to do with the early history   
   of 802.11 technology?   
      
   Strangely, you don't find the same ON-OFF switch among USB and PCIe   
   wireless gadgets for desktop PCs. :)
