Title:
linux-image-4.15.0-33-generic breaks WiFi
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since the upgrade from linux-image-4.15.0-32-generic to linux-
image-4.15.0-33-generic my Dell XPS 13 L322X laptop is unable to
connect to my home WiFi network. It is unable to obtain an IP through
DHCP but more in general it seems unable to receive packets. If I set
up an IP address manually I still cannot ping my router. There are no
noteworthy messages coming through dmesg though. The laptop uses an
AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter and not all WiFi networks fail to work
(but my home network fails to connect in a reproducible manner). The
following step were used to diagnose the problem:

The dhclient command never succeeds. If I revert to kernel linux-
image-4.15.0-32-generic everything works fine instead:
