That's right - i was suggesting the other commands in case your only
working machines were Windows PCs.

That seems likely given that your settings listed above are almost
identical to the non-working laptop.  You're also using a different
wireless chipset (one with which i'm unfamiliar), so that may have some
effect as well.  Did you try reconfiguring your wireless with Network
Manager?  (That is grasping at straws - it should still work with
wireless turned off and the Ethernet plugged in.)  To do this, right
click the network icon, choose Edit Connections, and either delete and
re-add, or edit your wireless connection info.
