I'll check later on. There's one newer version.

I did exactly that. The dell_rbtn driver partially worked, but, when
I pushed the rfkill button to turn off wireless and then turned it
back on using NetworkManager's menu, NM thought it was back on but it
didn't seem to work until I pushed the rfkill button again. dell-rbtn
does very strange things with device creation and deletion, and maybe
that's related.

It looks like this:

[ 7822.601910] dell_wmi: Received WMI event (02 00 10 00 53 01 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00)
[ 7822.601913] dell_wmi: Process buffer (02 00 10 00 53 01)
[ 7822.601915] dell_wmi: Key 153 pressed
