    So I was just looking on the dell drivers site for any updated drivers for my r2 and I was quite surprised to find a driver for a Broadcom 802.11ac+BT4.0 card! I downloaded it and like 2 minutes later it was gone. I am going to assume this will soon be an optional wifi card, but its not available as of yet. its BCM4352. I did extract the installer, but didnt actually install it as I dont have the hardware...yet. I'm on a search for one now, but it looks like its not going to be an easy find and I may just have to wait until dell actually releases it.

    here is a screenshot of the driver extraction.

    EDIT: looks like the driver is back online
