I rebuilt 3.8.0-24, as per instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile, with the following patch reverted:
8aba4976abb99ae093cc8d74976164be487a93a5 wireless: regulatory: fix channel disabling race condition
Got the source by "apt-get source linux-image-3.8.0-24-generic".
It booted fine, but the revert did *not* help with wireless connectivity. (I think I got it right with the kernel build process, but no guarantees..)
So then it might be some inconspicuous patch in -24 that's causing it..
