Sorry. Not trying to be unresponsive. I have a lot of distractions (I'm
watching the AFC game) and I'm trying to poke around and solve things

I pulled the card: it is a D-Link DWL-520 Rev B1

The seemingly pertinent line from lspci is (retyped)

00:06.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset
(rev 01)
