Dell E6320 Power Management BIOS Settings and Setting with CCTK
I have now tried to find the settings via cctk that will allow me to change the following in BIOS
Power Management / Wireless Radio Control - Ensure that both 'Control WLAN Radio' and 'Control WWAN Radio' are selected.
But I can’t locate the settings to enable me to script these into our build as well.
When I run an export of the entire BIOS settings with those settings enabled and then an import back into a machine where they are disabled the settings do not change
I have read the documentation on cctk and it mentions some settings are not replicable between machines and was wondering whether the Power Management settings are one of those settings
As long as we know we can’t do it we will press on with what we have, but if it is possible still via the CCTK utility could you let us know how it would be done as I have hit a wall on this as can’t see any other settings to try and I have tried all so far in the cctk listing to no avail …
I just need these 2 options enabled within the Power Management Section in the BIOS but am stuck finding a resolve for this if there is one.

But in the download page at dell.com its written that release date is 7/25/2011
When I write cctk.exe then it says version jul 15 2011.
Anyhow, when I write cctk.exe then it lists all commands I can use, but controlwwanradio and controlwlanradio isnt available, but keyboardilluminutation is (which is also added in version 2.0.1).
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CCTK\X86_64>cctk -h --controlwlanradio
controlwlanradio: If Enabled, this feature will sense the connection of the sys
tem to a wired network and subsequently disable the WLAN radio. Upon disconnect
ion from the wired network, the WLAN radio will be re-enabled.
Arguments: enable | disable
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CCTK\X86_64>cctk --controlwlanradio=enable
The option 'controlwlanradio' is not available or cannot be configured
through software.

I tried the "cctk --controlwlanradio=enable" command on an E6410 with latest BIOS (A10) but still getting same error message as AlliGaGa reported (see below). I'm also running CCTK 2.01 & according to its documentation, the E6410 is supported
"The option 'controlwlanradio' is not available or cannot be configured
through software"
Is the Wireless Radio Control feature only available on later Dell models?

Thanks Warren.
I keep getting a "Setup password is installed. Re-try providing setup/admin password" (which isn't listed in the CCTK Error codes incidentally(en.community.dell.com/.../1953.aspx) )which i've tried to overcome by running the commands
cctk --controlwlanradio=enable --syspwd
cctk --controlwlanradio=enable --valsyspwd
cctk --controlwlanradio=enable --passwordbypass
None of which are working, how can i bypass or reset the password using the same command line or is that possible? Also, i don't see very much documenation on CCTK (only support.dell.com/.../index.htm which doesn't cover a lot) is there somewhere else which provides more detailed documenation on using CCTK?
