>Intel 8260 2x2 802.11ac 2.4/5GHz + Bluetooth4.1


That's a link for the 13' not the 15'

The XPS 15 isn't shipping with Linux, the Precision 5510 is (enterprise version of XPS 15).

Yeah, this certainly wasn't the case with the previous Developer Edition XPS13. You apparently got Intel with some versions of it and not with others and information about which version included what was pretty difficult to come by. Broadcom supplied a binary blob driver for their wireless but that's not ideal...
