I'm having the same problem with my Linux Ubuntu 12.04. At work it seems to stall and the internet cuts out, even though I'm still connected to the router. The problem is temporarily fixed if I disconnect and reconnect to the router. At home the same thing happens, but it asks me for the password even though it's already saved. I've had the computer for 2 weeks now and everyday it gets progressively worse, which is extremely frustrating with my job being web development.

I can provide system logs and wireless info if needed.

On a side note, I was extremely wary about getting a Dell vs a Macbook Pro, but a coworker convinced me to try this out as it was "perfect" for development work. I had a horrible experience a few years ago on a Dell laptop that completely fell apart. So it's safe to say that if this problem isn't fixed soon, I'll more or less forever lose confidence in Dell.
