I recently had the same issue an posted my problem here on XDA and got the same answer. "Its probably the hardware" After flashing every rom I could think of even rc29 I decided to take my chances with returning it for a warranty exchange through my provider (T-mobile). I just called them up and acted completely dumb about it. Told them my problem and followed whatever they said they wanted me to do. After 3 calls back to them, they sent me a replacement free of charge. Just don't mention anything about flashing or root etc. Each G1 in under a 1 year warranty from the time of purchase. You should be fine :)

I had this problem with my phone having wiped it and pushed wpa_supplicant.conf to my phone.

Turns out the permissions of the file were incorrect which stopped the wifi from working.

chmod 777 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

fixed it temporarily, but needed to be done again after a reboot. I then tried chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

but by the time I rebooted I also had upgraded to the newest
CyanogenMod (4.1.11.1)

So maybe that fixed it instead...

problem solved

To bring wifi to work service use somthing like this:
"Rigid-Flex Board ASSY,Daughterboard,Dream" 51H10069-00M
There was no other way...using software...i was hardware problem,but I don't know why that happend...phone newer fall,or nothing similiar.

Mod can close topic,there will not be any more update.

I 've got the same problem with my G1.....
"Error" or "Unable to start Wifi".
It's hardware issue...
I tried to put my G1 at the freeze for about 2-3 hours.
After this, wifi worked for about 20 minutes...
I think Wifi chip on daughter board is burned and it's working only if it's cold... :(
(...when I mean cold, I mean an icy G1 :) )
The only solution is daughter's board replacement......
(...or apply some thermal grease on the chip ???????)
What do you think.....???????
