    I had the same thing happen when I tried to update the N 6230 driver on my XPS. I downloaded the driver update from the Intel site and it installed no problem.

    I had the same issue and I also downloaded the driver off of Intel site.

    The only other thing was I had to change the 802.11n channel width for band 2.4 from 20 Mhz only to auto to get the 300Mbps connection instead of 150Mbps one.

    Odd - when I restaged mine I used the driver downloaded from Dell and had no problem at all.
