More details and uh, possible user error.
When I reinstalled this morning, I forgot to enable the restricted
driver. Having followed dg's procedure, I expect I installed it anyway
(with the patch), but I thought it worth mentioning. At any rate, after
the failure/regression, I attempted to use the "normal" restricted
driver via System, Administration, Hardware drivers. That seemed to
work, but it does mean I am no longer sure which driver I am using.
One thing that is interesting: Yesterday, with a clean install brought
up to date and Intrepid backports and proposed enabled and installed, I
could turn off the internal Broadcom with the DELL WiFi switch, insert
the RetailPlus USB adapter, and get WiFi that way.
Now, with a clean up to date Intrepid, no backports or proposed, WiFi is
disabled unless the DELL switch is on. Refer to the attached screen shot
("shot").
