No way to boot this hardware with 3.10 kernels, I'm afraid, this was my
first struggle with it (Dell XPS-15 9560). At first with this
configuration, I was running WS v12, which was showing the issue
(periodic network disconnection). Upgraded to WS v14, was not
installing at all at the beginning, since few updates it installs but
the issue is there again.
