What hardware do you have?  You may need to ensure that the dcdbas
kernel module is installed for Dell laptops, and that you have
dellWirelessCtl.  This message means that HAL has an rfkill item for
your laptop, but the error says that something is going wrong when
querying that killswitch.  What version (and RPM release #) of HAL do
you have?
