joehill, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product
/latitude-e6430s an update is available for your BIOS (A11). If you
update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate ,
does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  8086:0082 Speed regression for Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 Wireless

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to Raring, my wireless on my laptop has consistently
  been incredibly slow to non-functional. Every few minutes it stops
  working completely, I disable wireless by hardware switch and
  reenable, it works (albeit very slowly) for a few minutes, then
  gradually deteriorates, loading half web pages or just giving me a
  blank page saying the site is not found.

  WORKAROUND: Disable wireless "n" in iwlwifi.
