I have an XPS 13 from this summer. lspci says:
3a:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4350 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 08)
The driver works mostly but once in a while I have to `sudo service network-manager restart`, rmmod/modprobe mwifiex_pcie, or worst-case reboot the system. Obviously this happens at the worst possible times -- meetings and in the middle of important work.
Their 'developer edition' uses intel wifi, I think, but is intermittently sold out and weirdly more expensive. You can buy an intel card and add it.
- pja 10y agoNew XPS 13" comes with a Killer 1535 Wifi chipset, which is Atheros based I believe. Specs at http://www.dell.com/uk/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC http://www.dell.com/uk/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd?ref=PD_OC I think you bought the previous model. It’s possible that the UK gets slightly different specs of course, but seems unlikely?
