Nicolò Chieffo, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e6400 an
update is available for your BIOS (A34). 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:
  8086:4232 [Dell Latitude E6400] wifi not working

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The wifi is enabled and connected to the correct access point.
  Unfortunately no data is transmitted, so even if I ping my router I don't get any answer.

  After disabling and enabling wifi several times I can get a good
  connection
