A complication: when the Vostro gets an IP address it is unable to ping the router. Reloading the kernel module (e1000e) fixes the problem and allows network communications to begin.

Are there still problems with e1000e NICs? Could my problem have been caused by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263555 ? I did have Intrepid on the Vostro.
