The POST diags that Tom ran include the "test /wlan" step.  That 
diagnostic info that scrolled by is a dump of the access point scan 
info.  It happens just before the touchpad test.

My recommendations:

a) Remove all power - AC and battery - for a few seconds to reset the 
wireless really well, then reboot and try the POST diags again.

b) If that doesn't fix it, email me when you get your developer key and 
I'll work with you on IRC to see if we can learn more about the failure 
details.
