Awesome, thx for the response [member=2]Jerry[/member] 
From the 3.8 release notes, the original 3.8 kernel is 4.4.0-112. I know for sure that I had no Wi-Fi problems when I was on that kernel.
Via the uname -r command, I see I'm currently running 4.4.0-140. So I need to go back to 4.4.0-112.
I used Lite Tweaks Kernel Installer to see if I could go back to 4.4.0-112, but it didn't seem to list the last number, just the x.x.x number (see pic below). Maybe I'm doing this wrong.

Anyway, while I'm definitely still open to reverting to kernel 4.4.0-112 when I figure it out, I'm also wondering if maybe instead of putting the time into that, maybe I should just go straight to a fresh LL install of the latest version of LL. Release notes show that LL4.2 (latest version at time of writing) has kernel 4.15.0-38.41.
I'd been meaning to get around to upgrading to LL 4.x in the longer term anyway, but I'd gotten the machine set up so well on 3.8 with all the software I needed, etc, that I didn't want to put in the time to upgrade, which would require a fresh install from 3.8 to LL 4.2. However, now that I'm having problems while on 3.8, maybe this is the impetus I need to switch to 4.2.
If anyone has any thoughts, input or comments I would love to hear them.

Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!
