I think your call on VBox was the right one. I was running the latest
3.0.6, but I'd already been thinking of reverting to 2.2 because it's
actually quicker and I don't need the new bits in 3.0.
So now having installed 2.2 again, there's no problems with the WiFi
device. Bizarre bug, I'd never have made that connection.
Thanks, Rick

NM 0.8? Or NM 0.7?
For 0.7, run 'lshal' and look for device blocks with 'wlan0' in them.
If you see two, then it's a hal problem (though we've seen cases where
VirtualBox in it's misguided attempts to virtualize /sys completely
screws over HAL).
For 0.8, what do you have in /sys/class/net/ ?
