Thank you for your reply.  I have indeed been down that road (several times)
and ultimately have concluded that the problem is that the wireless driver
doesn't appear to support WEP/WEP2 security, at least not the way that I have
it set up.  By setting the security to "disabled" on my router, I can make that
wireless card work.

Needless to say, I'm not really wild about that as a solution, so am still
searching for a better way to do things.

(It's not my laptop.  My intention is to set up this laptop and then set up a
wireless router for this client, then give him the whole shebang as a turnkey
setup that "just works".
