I think I'm having the exact same problem. My oldish dell xps 13 with this network controller has worked fine since ubuntu 12.04, but since installing 20.04, wifi keeps dropping out, bringing up an authentication dialog. Since the dialogue already has my credentials filled in, I would already be happy if it would reconnect without bothering me.
