    I was wondering if anyone else had issues with any of the newer drivers for their Dell Wireless 1510 (especially SXPS 13 users). Windows 7 (x64) has been recommending updated drivers to me for quite a while but upon attempted installation, they took down my WiFi and I had to perform a System Restore in order to bring it back up (rolled back to previous drivers).

    Recently I noticed Dell released updated the suggested drivers on their support page (to 5.30.21.0) and decided I'd try it out yet again. Though I can still connect to my network (Wireless N with WPA2 encryption), the connection is highly unstable and I am experiencing increased packet loss.

    Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
