Wireless Info:

 WiFi Locator not supported
 Wireless Keyboard not supported
 NVRAM Size: 256 bytes
 NVRAM format version: 1

This is booting with the switch off, and then turning it on. it works. the hardware is on, nm-applet works, I'm currently using it to post this.

rfkill :
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no
1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth

sudo dellWirelessCtl --st_wlan

Radio Status for WLAN:
 WLAN enabled at boot
 WLAN supported
 WLAN disabled
 WLAN installed
 WLAN boot-time wireless switch setting not present
 WLAN runtime switch control currently enabled
 Status Code: 1

Something's fishy...

Boot-time vs runtime switch?
