My Dell XPS 14Z has Intel Centrino Advanced 6230 WLAN adapter and with Linux driver, the connection often drops and even the bandwidth is reduced to 5 Mpbs from 25 Mpbs which I get in Windows. I am aware that the bug was present even in Windows but a firmware update is released.

I tried to follow Ubuntu forums and wireless Kernel page to keep track of this bug and I didn't find any change to this Linux driver or even a work around. I followed the suggestions from the forums and the result is unfruitful and remains the same with each iteration of Kernel version.

I tried 15.04, other variants of Linux distribution although knowing that every distribution use the same firmware from kernel.org. I lost my hope already and looking for an alternative PCI-e Wifi adapter. For almost three years, Linux community couldn't give a solution and I think they even hate the idea of releasing a patch.
