Is the wireless device ipw3945?
If so, I have the same issue with Dell Lat D820.
No solution yet? Awaiting new ipw3945 src - seems that when the wireless
killswitch is enabled the module wont stand up properly.

To see if it this is the problem, try renaming the ipw3945.ko file
in /lib/modules/<ver>/updates (or where ever its located on your system)
Then reboot.
