Public bug reported:

I'm filing this since nobody seems to be taking the issue seriously that
the Dell Mini 10v, one of the few machines to be shipped with Ubuntu, is
entirely unusable with either the b43 or STA drivers. The solution to
the b43 incompatibility (DMA errors) - yes known bug, but no solution
for the 10v - is NOT to install the STA driver - that is equally useless
since it connects, but is excruciatingly slow and only works at all in
short bursts. Check the forums - there's a series of people with this
issue. I'm now using a dongle or a wired connection...although I have
installed another OS and am using that from now on. This is a total
show-stopper.
