Public bug reported:
In Quantal and Precise there seems to be a bug in dell-laptop.
When you kill dell-bluetooth, it also hard blocks 'Wireless LAN'.
This should NOT be the case and only block your bluetooth.

This behaviour has been addressed in Bug # 901410 ... however we'll need
to handle a new product name, L322X.
