(Get the code!)
FWIW, I've seen lots of posting from other users on other laptops but with the Intel 6200/6300 wireless on Ubuntu and Arch Linux. Apparently there's a kernel fix in some time after 3.3.1 (users upgrading on Arch to 3.3.1 were reporting the issue that others said were fixed in a later version).
Considering we're on 3.2.0, I wonder if it really *is* a driver issue. Myself and two coworkers also have other laptops with 6200 or 6300 series networking (XPS13 has the 6230) have had LOTS of issues at work on some enterprise APs. Booting into Windows on these laptops and voila, the hardware works just fine. It's definitely a Linux driver issue.
Whether this is something that can be fixed with Canonical and Dell seems out of scope of Project Sputnik unless Dell/Canonical can update our kernel to a version where this driver gets fixed.
