Just a quick (non-compile) followup from my last email... blacklisting
the dell-laptop module works around the issue, so I think the commit
previously mentioned is indeed the culprit (as it's the only recent
commit and does fiddle with the rfkill stuff).

Not sure what the best track forward is, but it's certainly a
regression, so should probably be fixed or reverted until a more
complete fix is found.

Cheers

Col
