It looks like for this machine, at this location, and without the network/routing/route disabled, it was picking up a *second* default route.. so some of the packets (seemingly acks and other TCP activity -- somewhat important!) were ending up at this other router which belongs to a peer organization and we're not making it all the way to the remote side under certain circumstances. Once that second default route was removed, everything was fixed. It never affected ping, and my existing ssh was working fine. I have no idea why this suddenly started causing a problem!

Me too.  When I see questions about drivers, I assume the routing situation had already been inspected.  Glad you figured that out on your own, and thank you for the update!
