Still no brilliant ideas on my end.

New notes since my last comments:

1) I have elected to return to the Ralink USB adapter, since it was exhibiting the same trouble, independent of which Ubuntu machine it was attached to.

2) The RealTek adapter connects without issue on my wireless G network at work (WPA2). I believe I tried the wireless N network and encountered the same trouble as on my home (WPA2) network and the wifi connection on the train (unsecured). I will attempt to gather more information about the work network next time I am in the office (Friday) to see how it differs from my home network configuration.

3) Despite the home network being configured for G-only, iwconfig shows 802.11bgn on the laptop with the RealTek driver and 802.11abg on the laptop using iwl3945 (and working fine). I am very suspicious that this issue relates to Wireless-N in some way, but that is largely a hunch gathered from reading everything I can about anyone else experiencing issues with their wireless connections on either a ThinkPad or with a RealTek wireless adapter that uses Ubuntu. Is it possible to restrict a connection (e.g. wlan0) from using one of the bands, so that it is *only* 802.11bg, for instance?
