lol yep. I think you are right!
Well, it looks like my options are to:
1. Wait it out -- maybe they will get this eventually straightened out,
2. Replace the wifi card in the laptop to a known good one
3. Get a different laptop
4. Live with it
I couldn't change some of the parameters using modprobe -- they wouldn't take.

Thanks for your help. I like working things out and having someone there to bounce ideas off of as I work toward a resolution.
By the way, I did get my disaster recovery script almost finished -- turns out I do not have to create all of the partitions from scratch using sgdisk...

cmdide
CMDIDE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual CMDIDE(4)
NAME
cmdide -- CMD Technology and Silicon Image IDE disk controllers driver
SYNOPSIS
cmdide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000
options PCIIDE_CMD064x_DISABLE
options PCIIDE_CMD0646U_ENABLEUDMA
DESCRIPTION
The cmdide driver supports the CMD Technology PCI0640, PCI0643, PCI0646, PCI0648, PCI0649, and Silicon Image 0680 IDE controllers, and pro-
vides the interface with the hardware for the ata(4) driver.
The 0x0002 flag forces the cmdide driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled. This can be used as a debugging
aid, or to work around problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.
SEE ALSO
ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4)
BUGS
There's no way to reliably know if a PCI064x controller is enabled or not. If the driver finds a PCI064x, it will assume it is enabled
unless the PCIIDE_CMD064x_DISABLE option is specified in the kernel config file. This will be a problem only if the controller has been dis-
abled in the BIOS and another controller has been installed and uses the ISA legacy I/O ports and interrupts.
The PCI0646U controller is known to be buggy with Ultra-DMA transfers, so Ultra-DMA is disabled by default for this controller. To enable
Ultra-DMA, use the PCIIDE_CMD0646U_ENABLEUDMA option. Ultra-DMA can eventually be disabled on a per-drive basis with config flags, see
wd(4).
The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz. This driver may not work
properly on overclocked systems.
