It is ok now. I did this :
1) Command : rfkill list

0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: yes
1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
 Soft blocked: yes
 Hard blocked: yes
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no

2) Command : sudo rfkill unblock all

3) Command : rfkill list

0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: yes
1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
 Soft blocked: yes
 Hard blocked: yes
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no

3) Turn on the hardware switch and it is OK.

4) Command : rfkill list

0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no
1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no
3: hci0: Bluetooth

BUT why it doesn't work after the installation ?
