    Where did you send your laptop to?
    This model has wifi and bluetooth on the same minipcie card.
    I believe, the shop has switched your wifi card.

    Yes quite certainly, there is no other explanation otherwise. Was there an issue with your wireless and Bluetooth, why did you send the laptop in, in the first place? You should speak to them immediately. It's amazing that they sent it out with a dell card instead of an atheros or other manufacturer. I guess stuff like this is bound to happen when you go out of business and sell your PC business to a group of Japanese investors.
