Subject: Dell-laptop is not working without wireless

Matthew,

Not sure if this has already been reported, but here it goes:

dell-laptop module does not work on my Latitude d630 unless driver for
my wireless card (which happens to be iwl3945) is already loaded.
Otherwise dcsbas_smi_request() returns all zeroes which causes
dell-laptop to not create any rfkill devices nor install backlight
device:
