I got a new XPS 13 a couple of days ago. Everything works great with Ubuntu *except* for bluetooth. After a suspend, the bluetooth is lost and doesn't come back. I tried to remove and install the bluetooth driver with `modprobe -r btusb; modprobe btusb` and to restart the bluetooth service but neither things worked. I also reinstalled from factory defaults (just in case) and the problem persists.
I generally have pretty good luck with BT following suspend/resume. Yesterday BT simply did not come up following a reboot. I performed a complete power cycle and BT worked again.
I'm running Debian Stretch with WiFi firmware downloaded from the Killer github account a couple weeks ago. It works most of the time but is not 100% reliable.
I've been notified that new firmware has been released, and initial testing shows it resolves the 'no Bluetooth after suspend' issue. This is still being validated internally, but for now you can find it here:
I haven't had the problem of the adapter disappearing anymore but after suspending my devices don't connect anymore. The adapter is visible by the system (a big step forward) but I always have this error in my journal when I scan my bluetooth devices:
kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: last event is not cmd complete (0x0f)
This is with Ubuntu 18.10 and Linux 4.18.0-10-generic
It's possible to remove the known devices and pair them again. But to get the already paired devices back I have to do a cold boot again (even a warm boot doesn't help).

but with no guaranty. If it doesn't work I'll post it here and update the git repo accordingly.
