[Bug 1548844] Re: Inspiron 13-7359: rfkill button has no effect
David Henningsson, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.
As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-
support/product/inspiron-13-7359-laptop/drivers?os=biosa an update to
your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available
(01.06.00). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.
Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed.
If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.
Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
Inspiron 13-7359: rfkill button has no effect
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Nothing happens when the button to enable/disable rfkill (a k a
"airplane mode" or "wifi/bluetooth disable") is pressed.
Most other buttons seems to work according to evtest although some of
them has no effect (and the "switch video mode" button generates
Alt-P). Some of the buttons generate messages like:
[ 335.755925] dell_wmi: Unknown WMI event type 0x00: 0xe00c
[ 335.755928] dell_wmi: Unknown WMI event type 0x00: 0x3
...but the rfkill button is not one of them.
