I answered your previous question with a link to a thread with hundreds of non-jailbroken iPhone users complaining about the same issue. Do you even bother to read responses to your questions?
And, yes, I used PwnageTool and experienced this issue.
Got a tip for us?

What exactly happen when you run into this WiFi problem and what are the steps in detail to fix it.
Your WiFi stops working. Fixing it requires experimentation. Some people fix it with a single "Reset Network Settings." Others have to try various combinations of Reset Network Settings, reboot, and turning Airplane Mode on and then off. Just as its onset is unpredictable (many people never see it), so is it's solution. A very few people cannot fix it without removing blacksn0w.
What's not "virgin" about a warranty replacement that did it for all three months I owned it without ever touching a jailbreak or unlock utility? Also, BlackSn0w didn't even exist, so trying to link that to it is ridiculous. Heck, the Apple Store employee even insisted that all replacements were "new," not "refurbished," though the serial number disagrees (perhaps he meant "remanufactured").
The phone did it all along and continued doing it with thorough FW restores without loading a backup. I only tried resetting network settings once because it didn't work and it shouldn't help if even a full fresh FW restore (NOT loading my backup) wasn't enough, but that was back when I seemed to be the only one with the issue and even the local Apple Store hadn't seen it. There were no reports online telling me to try repeatedly. To top it all off, even if you think that restoring me backup (NOT restoring a jailbreak or unlock) somehow compromised its "virginity," understand that not only had none of my previous phones been unlocked, but BlackSnow didn't even exist, thus, could not be implicated. It absolutely was "virgin"/unmodified as far as BlackSn0w (or any other unlock, for that matter) goes. Stop being so dismissive.
