Not with the proper driver. The driver should sense the RF-kill switch
position
and won't attempt to scan or connect.
However, the way how the switch is connected often is specific to the
machine.
So maybe the OP has installed a generic or other model driver.

Hi
If you are using the Windows Wireless Manger.
Look at the Warless configuration empty the preferred wireless List and
uncheck the Automatically Connect.
