In this post you can find the answer
Disable drivers by editing the file /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf and add:
blacklist brcmfmac
blacklist brcmutil
Step-by-step
Backup the file before editing sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf.backup
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf- Edit text
