There were some Dell firmware updates since then, and I have not seen 
this behavior again.

And the original behavior was a bit weirder than I initially noticed, 
the laptop could activate the network interface if the whole system had 
been off and disconnected from mains for several hours and I then 
started it by switching on the power at the mains adapter.

I'd file it under weird incompatibility between some Dell firmware 
versions and some kernel versions, unless it occurs again.

Wish me luck :-).

Regards, Florian.
