I ran

I then tried running

sudo rfkill unblock wlan

and then

rfkill list:

0: dell-rbtn: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes

It still shows that it's hard blocked.



Pretty sure "hard" means blocked in the hardware.  A few years ago a friend of 
mine had what I
recall was the same sort of issue.  He fixed it by toggling the switch on the 
laptop repeatedly.
Apparently it was a "sticky" problem.
