Ack! Show-stopper.
The wireless card is a Realtek RTL-8185 based adapter. The right modules for this are not in the standard Hardy kernel. I read a possible solution at <http://willdaniels.co.uk/articles/howto-guides/10-howto/15-rtl8180-hardy> which involved adding a PPA with a newer build of the kernel that had the right module in place. And, having gone through that, I can confirm that if I boot into the new kernel, the rtl8180 module is in place. The only problem is I can only confirm that when running said kernel in recovery mode. If I try to boot it into full multi-user glory, it freezes at about the time that GDM should be starting up. Thankfully I can boot up using the older kernel just fine, so it's not COMPLETELY bricked; just...well...useless by virtue of no network connection... Which also makes the OSD a lot less useful, since it can only get to videos through USB, rather than on the network which is what makes it damned spiffy *sigh* ah well...
