Subject: dell-smbios makes wireless card unusable on Dell XPS 13 9360

Adding `dell-smbios` to `/etc/modules` on the Dell XPS 13 9360, it seems
to badly effect the Wireless LAN device, causing it to be absent or to
not work.

In one case, the whole system lagged, that means, the log in screen
stayed grayed out for 15 seconds, and the mouse pointer stopped moving
every 20(?) seconds for some seconds.

Can you please confirm if you're indicating this is a regression in 4.15?
Or was this present in earlier kernels too?

Kind regards,

Paul

Yes, it happened with Ubuntu’s 4.13 too. My original message had one log attached where the Wifi wasn’t visible at all.
