smbios-wireless-ctl missing

After a recent upgrade 'smbios-wireless-ctl', which I used to turn bluetooth on or off is now missing. I am in a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. Any idea how I can now turn bluetooth on or off?

Re: smbios-wireless-ctl missing

I also used smbios-wireless-ctl, does anyone know why it is gone and what can be used as a replacement for controlling bluetooth (or how to get it back)? I'm on a Dell Vostro 1310 if that matters.

aircraft-manager-util doesn't work for me, I always get a segmentation fault for every action I try.

XPS M1710 here.
dellWirelessCtl worked fine until it was replaced by smbios-wireless-ctl, which worked fine, but it's gone now.  Anyone come up with a replacement yet?
