XPS13 wifi behaviour seems to be much better on Linux kernel 3.15.2 from the mainline ubuntu ppa: I was working for 2 hours and had only one disconnection. http://www.yourownlinux.com/2014/06/how-to-install- upgrade-to-linux-kernel-3-15-2-in-linux.html
Running 3.15.3 gave me no disconnections but very low bandwidth (might be just by chance, only tested for 30 mins, very far away from the router). Note 1: In exchange for better wifi, I lost touch gestures on the touchpad (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40921?project=1&openedfrom=-1+week), as "blacklist i2c_hid" had to be removed in order for it to be detected (both on 3.15.2 and 3.15.3). Maybe testing on the latest 3.14 kernel might be good to have reliable wifi plus full touchpad support. I jumped directly to 3.15.2 so I cannot report on it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315221 Title: 8086:08b1 (rev 6b) [Dell XPS 13 9333] iwlwifi regularly loses connection/becomes unusable on Intel 7260 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1315221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
