    No it wont. You go into device settings and make sure power saving is off. Fixes the problem.

    intel wireless cards have always been solid compared to most others esp compared to dell cards.

    Uninstall original drivers, Install the 6200 drivers. Shut Down. You unplug the original Dell half-mini. You plug in the intel 6200. Start up. Go to devices uncheck power save mode. Done. Win.
