Hi guys,
You need to seriously consider the possibility that your Centrino chip is faulty at the hardware level.
I too had these symptoms:
* Wireless would drop and become unusable, usually under 5 minutes
* The only way to recover wireless is by rebooting
* The points above happen to both Windows and Linux
Not wanting to waste any more time, I called Dell support and armwrestled them to replace my wireless chip. Sure enough after the replacement the problem disappears on both Windows and Linux (Kubuntu 13.04).
My XPS 13 is a normal non-Linux edition. If you've been given a piece of faulty hardware, you should demand a replacement, regardless of whether you have a XPS 13 Developer edition.
Best of luck.
