If you perform this upgrade there is no need to do the work-around below. \u00a0 I received a Dell XPS 13 Developer&#8217;s edition ultra book just the other day. It had Ubuntu 12.04 LTS pre-installed. It has a Centrino Advanced-N 6235 wireless card from Intel. The first thing I noticed was that the wireless network was flakey. I could connect and use the network for a short time, then it would freeze up. The syslog said simply:<\/p>\n<pre>ieee80211 phy0: Hardware restart was requested<\/pre>\n<p>After much searching I found a solution. First check to see if this fixes your problem (on the fly):<\/p>\n<pre>sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1<\/pre>\n<p>If it fixes the problem make it permanent by editing (or adding) a file called <code>\/etc\/modprobe.d\/wlan.conf<\/code> and put the following line in it:<\/p>\n<pre>iwlwifi options 11n_disable=1<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: January 16, 2015.
