Hmm, the problem seems to have been transient for me. It persisted through several reboots, I also rebooted into windows and into the older 17 (as opposed to the current 24) kernel. The connection worked in both of those, this morning I booted again back to the 24 kernel, and it seems to have magically started working again. Also the trouble I was having may have been different, I have no signs of my router restarting, and no suspect messages in dmesg. I did also have other wired connections on the router at the same time these problems were happening, so I'm still convinced there was some sort of problem, but I'm stumped as to what it might have been if not a recent update... but it fixed itself... I'll post again if the problem reoccurs. I've now marked myself as unaffected by the bug for now.
