Public bug reported:
This is new to 10.10. In 10.04, wireless was working just fine.
I am reporting against dell_laptop because everything else works fine.
Wireless DOES work using wicd, even though nm-applet is reporting it disabled.
I can only assume it's not a problem with the broadcom driver (wl)
The rfkill status is always blocked both soft and hard. Trying to force
the status in rfkill does not work.
1: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
I then supposed there was a problem with the dell_laptop driver so I
blacklisted it but that completely disabled the wireless.
So it seems the driver makes the devices available and is thus
