Henry, Better than Disk Utility for you specifically, is diskutil from the command line. Check out all the fun and cool stuff. As for your network issue, configd is the daemon that runs all the networking. You can choose to send a restart to configd and see if that helps. You might also want to try creating a new location. All the parameters that you save when creating a location are saved in a file called preferences.xml located in /private/var/db/SystemConfiguration/ (you'll find other tasty goodies here too). When you upgraded instead of a clean install, these files may get boogered up (technical engineering type term there). You may also see an AirPort file in there. Try using mv to move these and restart and see if they get recreated. If you don't have any locations or they are easy to recreate, then this might be worthwhile for you. New clean files and dump the old ones.
