Has anyone experience buggy wifi drivers from Intel lately?
I am using an Intel Centrino 6250+Wimax card, while the driver (15.4 from Dell) was running fine but the latest releases from Intel (I believe 15.8-15.9) are very buggy. I get disconnected all the time throughout the day unless I toggle 'wifi' off/on again. At one point I started blaming my ISP -- which is Charter since they are notorious for internet dropouts, but my other computers and tablets were running fine and that's when I realized the culprit was Intel. I rolled back to 15.4 and all is well. Makes me want to stop downloading for updates from now on.
I am using both Dell-branded 6250 and a regular Intel 6250. Both have the same model numbers of 622ANXHMW.

Yes. Earlier versions are much better. 6235 here as well (on my Samsung laptop). I was getting frequent disconnections with the latest driver (15.8) too.
Latest Intel Driver (15.8 and beyond) is buggy...frequently disconnects!
