As I pointed out, my firmware is ancient. It's plausible that
something needed to be changed to cooperate with the new firmware
and the real solution to my problem is to find a friend with a
Windows laptop and stick my card in their machine to do the upgrade.
(Fwiw, this card also flatly refused to work in a Linux laptop, but
it would even light the link light there, so I'm not sure if this is
the same or a separate problem.)
At any rate, I'm updating sources now on my main machine (an AMD
Thunderbird 800, significantly faster than the P133 in the laptop),
so maybe a new kernel will make things better.
Which reminds me... the kernel I've got is using:

Been considering a Linksys for the apartment's loaner laptop. How do
you like it? They're pretty cheap...
