Well, no obvious solutions after 7 hours of actively trying things, so
I'll restore from backup.
For those interested, I deleted files from /var/lib/dhcpbd, and this
allowed me to get new IP addresses, but all within the faulty
subdomain of California. I tried on another wireless networks, and
still my machine tries to assign me an IP within the California
domain. I reinstalled my entire networking software (short of a
kernel recompile), and deleted and remade any network configuration
files I could find that might be relevant, and still the problem
persisted. I used wicd to assign myself static IP and DNS with known
values that are functional, and then the network was recognized, but I
could not access anything.
It's not a California address. It's an IPv4LL address, used when a dhcp
server can't be found adn is related to the zeroconf useflag the other
poster mentioned. Read:
