So googling for similar issues, I found https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1168467 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1293136 where that second one in particular looks very like my issue ("Association succeeds, and ARP/DHCP work, but no IP frames can be transmitted"). In both cases you have to go into the dmesg attachment to see that its rtlwifi in both cases). And there's an ubuntuforum thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2226009&page=2 where it you follow the thing, it's an rtl chip on a PCI card, and it has very similar "connected but no internet" behavior, along with the "net/mac80211/rate.c:526" warning (different line numbers, different kernel version, but it smells similar). Or this one: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=111781 which is also rtl-wifi, and also has the "associated, connected, got an IP, but no data, not even a ping" behavior. It also has the warning, but it looks different in other ways (2.4GHz only and actually says it's not doing HT/VHT). So I don't know. The warning in net/mac80211/rate.c:does seem to be associated with the realtek driver.
