Comment(by ssb22):

 On build 656 firmware Q2D07 I tried
 {{{
 sugar-control-panel -s radio off
 }}}
 but it did not turn the radio off: the signal light continued to flash
 from time to time, a nearby Windows Vista user complained that the XO was
 somehow sending him messages asking if he wanted to join the network (??
 but I couldn't look at his laptop to find out what was happening), and
 Sugar sometimes briefly "got stuck" while the signal light was flashing.

 The only thing that seems to work at the moment is to move
 /lib/firmware/usb8388.bin elsewhere and reboot (as described earlier on
 this thread).  The advice on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Support_FAQ etc may
 need to be updated before we cause any plane crashes.
