I'm using the default adapter, that's the intel desktop one I think.
Establishing the connection with DHCP is indeed a bit inconsistent.
Sometimes it's there just after boot, sometimes it scans for half a minute
before making the connection. No problems with DNS. So far I tested browsing
and software updates, worked pretty well. I have not yet done extensive
networking or used it for very long time.
