HI Darren and Pali, It was great that we had a lot of discussion but it seems Dell BIOS implementation varies from one series to another. Both work looks good either one is fine with me.
But I think I can do a little more: I am collecting a number of systems to try out these patches. This should help us determine which one work better and probably we can integrate. Currently I have found four systems (including two Latitude, an Inspiron and a XPS with working method(ARBT) that Gabriele suggested). I can get other, ex. a Vostro, if needed. I will test dell-wireless.c with Gabriele's suggestion and Pali's dell-rbtn.c (btw, will there be updates?). However, I will need a few days to do the comparison. Any suggested test cases?
