Got a dell studio xps 13 (SX13-163B) and have ubuntu 9.04 running on it. Everything works great bluetooth keyboard/mouse, webcam (tested using skype). Wifi at home works without a problem. However when connecting to a tmobile hotspot at borders/star bucks, the wifi would randomly drop connection every few minutes or so which is very annoying and disruptive to my work. I did some experimentation. I disable the network manager then manually started the dhcp client by running:
% sudo dhclient wlan0
After that I was able to connect without interruption for 3hours now. Hope this info is useful for somebody
