Some platform(BIOS) blocks legacy interrupts (INTx), and only allows MSI
for WLAN device. So adding a quirk to list those machines and set
use_msi automatically.
Adding the following platforms to the quirk.
   Dell Inspiron 24-3460
   Dell Inspiron 3472
   Dell Inspiron 14-3473
   Dell Vostro 3262
   Dell Vostro 15-3572

Larry, didn't rtlwifi have similar situation that with certain laptops
users were required to enable a module parameter to get the device
working? I think rtlwifi should do the same as AceLan does here as then
the user would not need to manually set the module parameter.
