FWIW, I replaced my WiFi/Bluetooth adapter immediately upon receiving my 9343. I had been following the XPS13 developer edition forums for a while, and the adapter that shipped with most XPS13 had a Broadcom chipset with bad Linux support. An Intel card was recommended instead. I actually had my card on-hand hand ready to go the day I received the laptop shipment.

Ironically I swapped the Intel 7260 in my XPS 13 9333 out for a Broadcom chip since every ~10 seconds the thing would flake out and I'd get a spike in latency >300ms - made normal web browsing a pain, voice calls were annoying beyond belief.

The broadcom wireless cards are garbage even on windows. My 9350 came with one, and it caused issues with the thunderbolt dock and other type c devices.
