Warm greetings to you all. I’ve installed Leap 15.6 on my Dell laptop. No issues initially, but airplane mode has somehow got to on and can’t turn it off. From running /usr/sbin/rfkill list, clear that dell-WiFi wireless LAN and phy0 wireless LAN are both hard blocked.
Information from /usr/sbin/hwinfo —wlan:
0282 WLAN controller
Intel Centrino Advanced -N 6205 AGN
Driver iwlwifi
Driver modules “iwlwifi”
Driver Status: iwlwifi is active
Thank you in advance for your support.
Which model?
Did you check the physical wireless key?

It is a Latitude E6430s. There doesn’t appear to be a wireless key.
According the manual it is number 9 in the figure.
Also check that wireless is not disabled in the system settings/Bios
