Hello all!
There seems to be a bug in the rfkill handling of dell-laptop.
When you kill dell-bluetooth, it also hard blocks 'Wireless LAN'.
This should NOT be the case and only block your bluetooth.
jean-louis@laptop-jl:~$ sudo rfkill list
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: dell-wwan: Wireless WAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
5: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
6: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
jean-louis@laptop-jl:~$ sudo rfkill block 1
jean-louis@laptop-jl:~$ sudo rfkill list
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no

1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes

2: dell-wwan: Wireless WAN
