This may not be possible, but....

I keep a couple of older Linksys routers loaded with DD-WRT
around. One of them actually works on DHCP ( on the other,
you have to use a fixed IP address on the computer ).

This will tell you if the problem is only with the WiFi path
or also with the copper path.

There will be pain as you must provide power to the router.

Second:

It might be worth burning a Knoppix Live DVD and booting
that to see if the problem persists using the onboard WiFi
hardware but with a different O/S.
