Adding hal to affected packages since it seems wrong for the killswitch detection scripts to rely on /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --st_wwan for dell laptops when that command always returns 0:

motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --st_wwan ; echo
0
motin@motin-xps:~$ # turning off switch - wireless on
motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --st_wwan ; echo
0
motin@motin-xps:~$ # turning on switch - wireless off
motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-smbios --st_wwan ; echo
0
