Use the rfkill utility from core. It will display the rfkill devices and
modify their state. As James said, using the sysfs interface is
depreacted and it will disappear soon.

If you want to avoid deactivating your wireless by accident, I guess you
need to modify the settings of the ACPI module like mentioned in the
other subthread.
