Hey Mitchell!

  Just to add a little, Dell released a BIOS update that now allows
the driver to obtain all 32 MSI vectors (I posted around the time that
happened if you need the earliest version, otherwise just grab the
latest version).  I've been running 5.12 and 5.13 without WIFI issues.
Occasionally I still have bluetooth problems and the i915 drivers are
causing video artifacts randomly, but the wireless connection seems
pretty solid at this point.
