Alex, it is my understanding that this solution from Pali is a more complete
solution to dealing with the variety of dell wireless buttons and rfkill
mechanisms in the world today.

I currently have:
7c4d961 dell-wireless: new driver for dell wireless button for Windows 8
queued in for-next. If I have read your responses on this correctly, are we all
in agreement that I should drop the above patch, and apply these?
