1.0.0.5 has been posted on the Dell website but DO NOT install that version.  The driver is not digitally signed and it WILL bluescreen your machine.

Hi DRMADDOG,

So the functionality (which existed on E5450) where both WLAN and WWAN were "disabled automatically when an ethernet cabel is present" no longer exists?  

Would really like to know if this can be automatic function to disable when docked, as per OP.

The scenario is that you have wireless networks and wired networks that are different, and you don't want to bridge networks when docked. You want wireless to turn off, disconnect from that network entirely as soon as the docked network connection is established.

This is still not fixed even with the release of the 1.0.0.6 A02 driver. My 7470 will not connect on Wired OR Wireless now.

I've tried to install these on my new 7270 and I can't install it because get an error saying that "this installation package doesn't support this processor type"

Even if I try the newer one 1.0.0.6 I get the same error!

Dell, what I'm I suppose to do?

I should say that we have win 7 32 bit.

Computer processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz

I was getting the same error with 1.0.0.6, but I had Win x64.

I was finally able to get 1.0.0.6 installed.  I installed 1.0.0.5 first and it installed fine, but didn't disable the WLAN radio.  Next I extracted the 1.0.0.6 to a folder and ran HKDellDrSetup64.msi from the folder.  It installed fine and disable the radio immediately.

Hi!

God that it works for x64 computers.

But we have mostly x86 and 32 bits win7 applications so this doesn't work for those computers and Dell doesn't seem to have a fix for them.

Dells sys that the driver this just support: Windows Operating Systems: Windows 7 64-bit.

This is now solved.

We didn't get the right hotfix. They had one for x86 computers and windows 7 32 bits OS.

After installing that one I've got it to work.

Thanks for your help!

Fredrik

nstall the Dell WLAN HotKey Driver.

You can download and install the Dell WLAN HotKey Driver from the Dell Support Website, where you can select your system, then Drivers and Downloads, Network folder to locate and download the WLAN Radio Switch Driver.

Use the steps below to enable WLAN Control in BIOS if not already done:

1. Tap the F2 key while powering up the system
2. Once in the BIOS please click on Power Management
3. You will then click on Wireless Radio Control
4. Once here please ensure that the Control WLAN radio option is selected
5. Please click Apply and then Exit

Once complete, the system should automatically switch from Wireless to Ethernet when docked.

Did you downloaded the good driver for x86 Wlan Hotkey ?

I've got it from Dell.

For us it has worked.

Goog news ! 

Perhaps you folks can help a novice on this topic.  I'm running fine--almost.  Plug in the cable, wireless turns off and cable connects.  Unplug the cable, and wireless connects.  Repeat:  all good.  The problem I have remaining is start up.  Even if the cable is connected, the system boots to a wireless connection.  Shouldn't it start to wired if the cable is connected?  (Sort of a pain to have to manually turn off the wireless every time I start with a cable connected).

Associated question:  How can I tell what version of Dell WLAN HotKey driver I have?
