Good to hear.  I had my partner look at the issue and he seems to think 
the tcp/ip stack has corrupted ( fwitw, my partner is a CCIE candidate)  
Rebuilding would be your best option,  I would suggest you build with 
hard wire plugged in.  In my experience the installation will customize 
the OS more to your hardware (where the live CD loads all it can to 
insure compatability).  In doing so you /may/ need to load a restricted 
driver after install for the wireless.  Just an FYI.  Lets us know how 
it goes.
