I hate to see all these good people's energy being wasted on Samsung's booboo.
Went through similar back in the day with an Acer Travelmate 8172 and Broadcom
wifi adapter. Wasted so much effort trying to debug the problem it's insane. At
least the resulting life rule "never touch Broadcom again" has served me well
from then on.

The solution is to support the right companies and right models, and while
trying to not spam this bug, I'd like to influence the gatherers here to do the
same. Dell and Lenovo do seem to be on the forefront with Linux so that's what
I've chosen for my companies.

Maybe I should note I also purchased 900X3A for myself earlier. You have to
hand it to Samsung's design team, the Series 9 is a hit look-and-feel wise.
Luckily, 900X3A also worked flawlessly on Linux. But this bug single-handedly
reminded me of the lurking Windows-company dangers. So when the battery started
fading and I needed a higher-res screen + mini-DisplayPort, I dropped all newer
S9-s out of the race. Dell XPS14, while weightier and mid-res screen, so far is
doing quite well on all heavy duty Linux stuff I've thrown at it.

That being said, I hope someone gets this thing solved. Hate to see good
hardware going to waste.
