Dear Dell Devs,

I didn't want to create "just another issue thread for the XPS laptop" but instead please consider this thread to be a cumulative thread on open issues concerning the latest model of the XPS 13 (DE) 9360.

After applying the latest updates, running Ubuntu 16.04 that was shipped, I will now summarize the open issues that folks have been reporting:

• unstable Wi-Fi (I thought the drivers for the Killer NIC were open-sourced and already upstream?!) I can confirm as well that I'm constantly losing internet connection on WiFi even though I'm sitting next to my WiFi router. Plugged in through Ethernet works fine.
• Frozen Trackpad - it seems that the trackpad freezes as soon as you try to enter/type something into a form. It freezes automatically and then you can only use the touchscreen or a computer mouse (through USB/Bluetooth). This makes working on a XPS13 a real pain. Rebooting the whole machine resolves it for the time being, but is not a proper solution. This issue is reproducible and happens to me various times a day.

I will be correlating the existing threads with them, maybe the Dell folks can reply to this thread instead of having to shuffle their way through each thread.

@everyone else: feel free to report any other issues that I might have missed out here....

I'm happy to provide any logs that the Dell folks might regard useful if it helps to resolve those issues...
