17 R5, BIOS issues in Kernel Log
My kernel log is full of errors and warnings caused by bugs in the Alienware 17 R5's BIOS. Please fix these issues for the next release.
The Alienware 17 R5 BIOS is missing a hotfix that the Linux kernel is expecting it to have.
dell-smbios A80593CE-A997-11DA-B012-B622A1EF5492: WMI SMBIOS userspace interface not supported(0), try upgrading to a newer BIOS
According to the Linux kernel, having WGDS without WRDS is nonsensical, because WGDS requires WRDS.
iwlwifi 0000:47:00.0: BIOS contains WGDS but no WRDS
From what I read online, these may already be being taken out of the code.
iwlwifi 0000:47:00.0: Unhandled alg: 0x707
iwlwifi 0000:47:00.0: Unhandled alg: 0x71b
From what I understand, these should be provided for voltages to work correctly.

This may lead to broken or duplicated buttons.

I read somewhere that this might be harmless and mean the touchpad firmware can't be updated; but y'all would know for sure.
