I downloaded them from DLink's website.  They have two versions, I used the 
older one.  The most recent didn't work.

That's one possible explanation.  I can send you the driver I'm using 
through ndiswrapper to test your hypothesis.  You can also send me a patch 
that would set the power level to a hardcoded value instead of the EEPROM to 
test it as well.  Just let me know how I can be of help in finding and 
fixing the problem.
