Now for the WiFi bug report on the new BIOS:

The problem didn't go away, as expected. They wouldn't ship a machine without working WiFi. This is clearly a Linux specific problem, which is why I'm reporting it in the first place. If a BIOS flash somehow fixes a bug that only occurs on Linux, the bug should not be considered fixed. If the Windows driver is able to work around a BIOS issue, so should the Linux driver.

sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
