 i updated the Bios just some hours ago and i still had and have the
problem(with A07 and A08 Bios).

@Jose de la Rosa: today a guy from dell changed the mainboard and the
WLAN-Card to be sure that it isn't a hardware-error. But i still have
the error i described. What else can i do? Do you need more information?
