I already had that kernel and had checked it.

So I installed this one and checked it.

Results:

2.6.27.3-34     no wired or wireless connection
2.6.27.4-79     Wired connection ok, but WPA connection asks for WEP key
2.6.27.5-94     ditto
2.6.27.5-100   ditto

(Just realised that you said 4-100 and I have 5-100 - is that what you 
intended?)

Note that when the WPA connection fails it brings up a dialogue box asking for 
the WEP key.  Unlike the first dialogue, this is restricted to 4 WEP entries - 
there is no option to enter a WPA key.

Maybe I've already lost the kernel that was installed by the snapshot.  That, 
presumably, was prior to 2.6.27.3-34 - and wireless did work, but wired didn't 
when I first installed.
