joehill, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product /latitude-e6430s an update is available for your BIOS (A11). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Every few minutes it stops working completely, I disable wireless by hardware switch and reenable, it works (albeit very slowly) for a few minutes, then gradually deteriorates, loading half web pages or just giving me a blank page saying the site is not found. WORKAROUND: Disable wireless "n" in iwlwifi.
