I have installed tumbleweed in the past without any issues on this Dell 9300 XPS laptop. I tried to reinstall Tumblweed using the 13/09 snapshot and found that it could not detect the wifi. I checked the kernel logs and can see the following (edited as I have extracted from a photo and some lines were incomplete):

I was able to install it using the offline image and once I booted to the installed system the wifi worked perfectly. I’ve tested the 09/14 and 09/15 and they both also have the same issues.
I had a quick check on bugzilla but I’m not sure if this is a known issue or not, so I wanted to raise it here first if anyone can confirm?
