Does it work at all in the Linux environment? Or may I safely ignore it? (It also functions as "F2" if I strike the blue "Fn" key first.) 

Don't know about your Dell....but on my Acer that switch is pretty much a "hardware" switch that seems to turn power on/off to the wireless card.  So it matters not what OS is running.
