Around 10:30 this morning, it started working again all on its own. I'm
guessing one of the networking people restarted something.
There is a phenomenon in one of the online communities that I engage with.
A sort of wink-nudge superstition, if you will: "If you want something
to happen, complain in chat about it not happening." Posting in IRC
didn't work in this case, but apparently posting to debian-user worked.
