Update: I talked to the Dell support today, to get to speak to ProSupport. Turns out I am required to have purchased specifically the "developer edition" and not a random Dell XPS 13, else my Ubuntu issues don't justify a refund. Nice.
But the support people were helpfull in that they found out, that the "developer edition" is advertised to have a different wifi chipset compared to the windows versions. The Ubuntu ones have the 6230 and not the 6235: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-l321x-mlk/pd These chips are really different: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/centrino/centrino-advanced-n-6230-brief.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/centrino/centrino-advanced-n-wimax-6235-brief.html Could anyone who reported these problems, tell me whether they explicitly bought the "developer edition", or installed Ubuntu by himself? Also, which chip does your Dell have? 6230 or 6235? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1091372 Title: wifi slows and/or drops frequently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-sputnik/+bug/1091372/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
