** Description changed: On Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10 the Sputnik kernel is used to enable Bluetooth, Wi-fi and screen brightness on the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook (it also enabled the touchpad on 12.04). Even with the latest kernel as of this writing, Linux 3.5.0-18-generic #29+kamal11~DellXPS-Ubuntu SMP x86_64, which is the Sputnik kernel from ppa:canonical-hwe-team/sputnik- kernel, using the default key combination (F2 or Fn+F2) for wireless turns on Bluetooth but not Wi-fi. The Wi-fi can be enabled via the graphical interface on most non-Unity desktops, but since the graphical option for Wi-fi remains disabled in Unity, only 'sudo rfkill unblock all' can enable Wi-fi in a Unity environment. However, the problem remains with the Sputnik kernel. I could not find a way to report this bug in launchpad.net/~canonical-hwe-team, so I am reporting it here.
