I would imagine this is just related to some dellish crap, but I saw a
number of exactly the same cases in the web including linux-kernel mail
lists in the past and also without 'slider on the back' case.

I doubt that it is Dell related, if that is what "dellish" means.

I have had some success in clearing this problem by unloading and
reloading the wireless driver. I had the problem on one box that has
no rfkill switch and an 802.11b card that uses b43legacy.

I tried that as well as disabling and enabling wifi in bios (or is it
newr loader), but without success. I called this 'dellish' crap
because of the hell list of problems I had with this laptop and i915
video chipset in it. Apparently brother model e4200 does not have them
at all.
