I tried the 2.6.31-15 kernel from
http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp418933-karmic/
But this did not solve the wifi problem on my vostro 1520. There is still the killswitch in the wrong state after boot.
Can anybody give me a feedback if my posting (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/418933/comments/94) should be related to the new kernel (2.6.31-15)?

When I test the rfkill list it shows still wrong result if the hardware WLAN switch is on before booting:

rfkill list
0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: yes

I need to boot with deactivated wlan to be able to activate wlan after laptop was booted.
