Exactly! I have a pretty active progress sync for when I'm at home, because what's a little battery use before bed, but if you forget to disable all of the auto-enable, auto-connect settings before going out, it's literally a battle to disable progress sync and wifi in time. Connecting to wifi seems to be a particularly blocking process, since on my kobo's it locks up the whole experience waiting for a timeout. Then it tries again seconds later.
I wrote this plugin not only turns off wireless but sets everything to prompting, as well as disabling plugins that use wifi to avoid the request. In road testing, wikipedia tried to connect, but because of the disabled settings, was easily exited without trying to connect.
Writing up the initial post, I realized I should work on being able to specify which plugins you want disabled so you can disable other plugins that I don't know about (or didn't think about, like the hardcover plugin).
