Ahh... where's your geek spirit? It's fun to make things work on new hardware.

The wireless works perfectly, so the network stack isn't broken. Perhaps the 
ethernet driver is broken/corrupted, though reinstallation of the driver does
not solve the problem, which is why I suspect it's a configuration issue. It
may well not be. But I don't know enough about OS X to know; perhaps someone
on the list does.
