Ethan Blanton, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/xps-13-9333/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (A04). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a04 regression-release ** Summary changed: - iwlwifi regularly loses connection/becomes unusable on Intel 7260 + 8086:08b1 [Dell XPS 13 9333] iwlwifi regularly loses connection/becomes unusable on Intel 7260 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- 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/1315221 Title: 8086:08b1 [Dell XPS 13 9333] iwlwifi regularly loses connection/becomes unusable on Intel 7260 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My Intel 7260 network card regularly shows very poor performance and/or loses its connection entirely. On several occasions I have been unable to reestablish an association with the AP without rebooting. This occurs even if the laptop is within a few feet of the AP. I did not have this problem on 12.04 with a quantal backport kernel. I was asked to report this after commenting on #1305305.
