connected using ethernet and did a software update. After this the WLAN
worked correctly.

The laptop seems to have TPM, but when I try to enable it it tells me I
need to switch to UEFI. Unfortunately AEM doesn't support UEFI, so it 
can't

be used.

I have also been unable to disable tap-to-click on the touchpad. 
Apparently
this is because the touchpad isn't supported but if you're OK with

tap-to-click enabled the touchpad itself works well.

There is no technical reason as to why you need UEFI to use a TPM.

You have a business laptop, so you should call dell and insist to 
speak to an engineering team member who can remedy that.
Note: it may be difficult if you don't have the us based pro-support 
as the low wage outsourced techs will have no idea what you mean.


I would also insist on linux touchpad drivers, which again you can do 
(because it is a business laptop)




I agree... nothing should block you from using the TPM.

I think it's possible to get it to work in Fedora 24, but Qubes dom0 is
based on Fedora 23.

I'll try it again once Qubes 4 comes out.
