At least on my laptop I have:

/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1/state when my kill switch is thrown.  This
seems to cover the wifi.  When I unkill, which enables bluetooth, I get
rfkill2 as well with a state of 1.  In my bios I have the switch set to
cover cellular and bluetooth, so no switch can kill the wifi.
