My NST's WiFi doesn't work with 1.1 Update

[LastSilmaril]

Hi all,

Maybe an hour after installing the 1.1 update, I noticed that my nook wasn't connected to my home WiFi network. What's more, when attempting to connect, it seems to pass authentication but then fail to get assigned an IP address, and WiFi status reverts to 'Unsuccessful' under the name of my network.

This is a serious flaw. It has nothing to do with my WiFi security settings; the same result occurs with WEP, WPA, WPA2, and running an open network. 

If anybody else has experienced these issues, please say so.

It seems to work if you assign your Nook a static IP in your router; see my instructions on how to do this for POS ActionTec router here (page 3, post 57):
