I had tried that, actually.  No dice.

I can get it to switch networks now, but I have to manually shut down
every process even remotely related to networking, then start stuff again
to get NetworkManager to stop being wedged and pick up the currently
available network (otherwise it just sits there refusing to let me do
anything).  It "works", but it's still pretty annoying.
