Also affects Alienware M15 (early 2015). From the looks of it, all Alienware laptops from last refresh use this chip with no option of changing to the better supported Intel.
No wonder Dell didn't include Linux as an OS option. So yeah, fairly big family of laptops broken. Maybe ill try and source an intel wireless to change this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1383184 Title: Atheros Qualcomm Killer N1525 Wireless-AC [168c:003e] not supported Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Card detail: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:003e] (rev 20) Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc.
