Dears all,
I just installed ubuntu 15.10 on a dell xps 13 (9350). The internal wifi card is currently not supported under linux, so meanwhile I purchased a trendnet TEW-648UBM.
It works "almost" out of the box, except that very often I can not access internet anymore, while the wifi is still connected (according to the network manager).
Then I need to disable wifi/re-enable, or even plug it out & in.
I would post logfiles but I am not sure which is the useful one.
Could you help me ?
as an addon, lspci -v yields:
3b:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 525a (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Device 0704
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 276
Memory at dc600000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]

I also tried the solution here: TRENDnet TEW-648UBM 802.11n 150Mbps Micro Wireless N Adapter not working
but when I do that the adapter is not recognized at all anymore
when I disable the wifi I get the following entry in dmesg:

When I enable it again I get:

Would any of you have some idea to help, adding the wlx... in /etc/network/interfaces as shown in my comment below did not help
Thx, Timothé
