Just to get prerequisites out of the way, have you done the
for f in $(find /etc -type f -name '*pacnew'); do orig = ${f%.pacnew} diff -u $orig $f > /tmp/$orig.diff done
then review the config changes and make updates accordingly dance?
The desktop is my primary system, so I do tend to keep its config files fully in order. The laptop is something of a test bench system, so it's got a number of *.pacnew files, but I'm convinced they're all unrelated to networking. Most of them are actually user/group related and are there just because they're necessarily modified after initial install - /etc/{group,passwd,shadow,sudoers} and such. It really seems like an extreme long-shot, that the laptop would be able to consistently cause strange low-level networking issues in the desktop, but I'm grasping at straws here.
