FN F2 will likely turn the card off if it's internal (you will see a radio tower with a slash through it on the screen when you try this). If it's an external or slot type card, simply remove it.
I have an Inspiron 9300. I want to turn it off because I have been told/have read that it needs to be turned off during the flight. I don't know what card it has, it came with the computer when I bought it and was the reccommended one from this site.
If the function key combination does not do it (won't, for example, on Inspiron 8200), right click the connection in the connections window and choose Disable from the pop up menu.
That's a good call -- probably the better way actually (or you could press F2 at the dell screen and disable it in the bios).
For what it's worth, there is zero good evidence that these things can effect airplanes at all. I'd say you have a higher chance of killing someone next to you who has a pacemaker
