Except as you point out later in another excellent post :) in showing
the issue isn't with VM as crap as they might be.

Using traceroute -n could help, probably also need the destination to be
ip only too.  Basically assume DNS is the issue (isn't it always?) and
start there, going though my email.

I suspect if the ethernet cable were left in, everything would be
apparently working.  It would be handy if it's getting as far as dhcp
but I fear this will be yet another nasty wifi chipset and binary blob
issue again.
