Title:
  8086:088e [Dell XPS L322X] wifi slows and/or drops frequently

Status in Dell Sputnik:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I received my Dell Sputnik XPS (12.04) three days ago, and since then
  have experienced very unreliable wifi. I'm seeing significant slow
  downs and drops on several networks.

  Two main issues:

  1) Wifi slows down significantly for 10-60 seconds. It appears no
  packets are getting through, as all browser requests churn, Flash
  games show connection errors, pings don't work, and Software
  Center/Update Manager/apt cannot connect. The connection always
  returns eventually. This is happening once every few hours to many
  times an hour.

  2) The wifi connection disconnects and quickly reconnects. This is
  also happening between once every few hours to several times an hour.

  I cannot spot a pattern or a trigger, but it's happening a lot. It's
  occurred on all three networks I've connected on. Two were standard
  secured home wireless networks, and one is a corporate wireless
  network.

  WORKAROUND: sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi
