I hear you. I have no problem generating random suggestions, but it's
not costing me much :-) Here's another one: try a different model PCMCIA
card. Your call.
I've already tried quite a few. If I've time tomorrow I'll try a few
more. I
do have a case to pack, though :-)

Are you running Network Manager? Click on the icon and again on the line
that identifies your connection. It should restart the interface.
When the LiveCD was running, that's how I did it. On the Install it just says
no interfaces.
If not running NM, do 'ifdown <interface>; ifup
<interface'. That's
assuming you haven't changed anything else of course.
I tried a reboot, but I didn't actually try that. I will in the morning,
providing I can make time.
