I find the wording around the box contributes to uncertainty about its
action:

Wireless

     Turn off the wireless radio to save battery life

     □  Radio

     Discard network history if you have
     trouble connecting to the network

     (Discard network history)

The 'Discard network history' button is always the affirmative action for
the preceding advisory.  The 'Turn off' advisory for the Radio check box is
only similarly aligned when the box is checked (otherwise, one might wonder
does it 'Turn off' or 'Turn on' the radio).
