But it seems to have no effect on my Dell. The wifi hot key on the laptop does not seem to work either (from the console).
Is there a hardware switch somewhere on the laptop, perhaps underneath, to turn the wifi on and off? On my Lenovo laptop, there is a switch. If it's off and you try to bring up the wireless interface, you get the most obscure error message that I've read in a very long time.
