Doesn't work (see below about the screencast), the output is the same:
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

I think so (dell_laptop), sorry for the bad reference.
~$ lsmod | grep dell
dell_laptop 12943 0
rfkill 19080 5 bluetooth,cfg80211,dell_laptop

Yes, reboot the computer doesn't work, the only way to fix it yet is login
at BIOS and reset to default settings (in the BIOS of this model the F9
key means reset to default settings), strange here is that wireless wasn't
been disabled before or after reset to default settings.
I guess a screencast [1] of this issue will be helpful.
[1] http://fcestrada.com/screencasts/647249.webm
In the attached file you'll find the output text of the screencast (with
some fixes about redirection of messages to stderr).
Thanks a lot for your help!
Best Regards,
P.S. I guess this is an upstream problem based on the following links:
