I have question regarding wlan. I have disabled the wlan modules in the GUI but still my said shows up in kismet. Is there any commands I can use to permanently disable the 2 wlan modules?
 
I would appreciate some more effort in you describing the issue.
What router are we talking about?
What GUI?
What is "wlan modules"?

If you want to off the radios you do that in (R7800) the Netgear original GUI:
ADVANCED: Wireless Settings: Enable Wireless Router Radio: Advanced Wireless Settings (2.4GHz b/g/n): uncheck
ADVANCED: Wireless Settings: Enable Wireless Router Radio: Advanced Wireless Settings (5GHz 802.11a/n/ac): uncheck

There is also a hard button on the router itself that switches off the radios. (It looks like a square LED).
Please read router documentation.

If you want to off your WiFi devices and radios from command line:
Code:
wlan down;for i in 1 2;do { [ "$(dni_wlan radio 11a -s)" = "ON" ] || [ "$(dni_wlan radio 11g -s)" = "ON" ]; } && wlan toggle; done

Also if you want to "permanently disable" the radios you need to open the router and disconnect/destroy the radios.

Wishing you good luck in your quest!
