I don't know if it is or isn't. However, as the only known difference
between the two machines is the fact that the one with the problem is using
Gnome in fallback mode, it's reasonable to think that this might be related.
Antonio: a shot in the dark: what does lsmod say on the unit that
can't get up? What are the hardware readouts for the two computers?
Perhaps it's a missing driver. What does ifconfig / iwconfig cay when
both connected and when not? You could also try modprobe on the file
that connects the wifi card to the modem.
