I usually do the builds with the hard wire plugged in as you call it. I was 
just surprised to see the wireless network right there from the live cd. I 
was actually making sure the cd was good after burning and started to have a 
lil poke around when I saw my network detected. So I thought I'd try and 
connect and off she went without a prob

If it were windows I'd know how to fix the corrupted ip stack. No so here. 
Either way it's given me reason to upgrade at least one system to 9.04
