As jdd suggested, next weekend, I'll boot a Live CD and see if the network 'just works.' If it does, I'll try replicating that configuration in the installed version.
As yamaban noted upthread, network configuration niggles depend on the method of configuration used. You've not mentioned that I recall whether you're using fixed IP or DHCP. Fixed IP seems not to have the niggles. AFAIK, live media defaults to DHCP. On a simple home LAN either is OK, but the virtues of DHCP on a home LAN are pretty much absent.
Hi All, I apologize for the 'noise.' The only difference I found in the network configurations between 12.3, 13.2 and 13.2 KDE Live here was the addition in 12.3 of Google's public IPv4 nameservers in /etc/resolve.conf: nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 As soon as I added these in 13.2 and restarted the network connection, the Internet became accessible. I vaguely recall adding these back when DNS lookups were getting slow and flaky and I didn't have time to find out if it was actually my ISP's nameservers or something in the router. Obviously, whatever it was has gotten much worse (meaning broken) since then, so it wasn't at all 13.2's fault, after all. Thanks to everyone again for their input.
