I upgraded from Breezy to Dapper and immediately after rebooting the network devices no longer worked. Using the VIA 6102 I can get an IP address from my router or use static but either way I can't ping the router or the outside. If I try to restart the network device then the laptop freezes.

I tried to start the wireless but it locks up the machine immediately. It often locks up when I'm trying to input the wireless essid into the network manager. Setting up the wireless connection via iwconfig and then using ifconfig to start the device causes an immediate freeze.
