I was curious whether this also happens with Dell Vostro 3550 and seems not:
# rfkill list 0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no # rfkill block 1 # rfkill list 0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no # rfkill block 0 # rfkill list 0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no # iwconfig tun0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.

Now, after doing once Fn+F2 to disable the device(s):
# rfkill list 0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes 1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes #
Another press of Fn+F2 enables both at once:
# rfkill list 0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 4: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no #
BIOS A09 here, linux-3.4-rc7.
Just do not know why I still get those "Unknown key pressed" messages:
[ 2652.048353] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x88 on isa0060/serio0). [ 2652.048363] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e008 <keycode>' to make it known.
