I've got the same issue with Ubuntu 12.04. It can load the wifi driver 
but running ifconfig it won't show an IP as a normal user, but as root 
it's OK. I can ping as root, but not with ubuntu user:

sudo ping yahoo.com
PING yahoo.com (98.139.183.24) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ir2.fp.vip.bf1.yahoo.com (98.139.183.24): icmp_req=1 
ttl=39 time=515 ms
64 bytes from ir2.fp.vip.bf1.yahoo.com (98.139.183.24): icmp_req=2 
ttl=39 time=437 ms

ping yahoo.com
ping: unknown host yahoo.com

My guess is that there is only about 300 MB memory available to Linux, 
because some memory must be reserved for the GPU (especially for video 
decoding). It is the same with the Android firmware.
