Bad form to reply to my own post, I know.

Wasn't the card.  Something I'd done while trying to set up my wireless
card seems to have made the WAP itself go wonky.  My wife's connection
went poof as well.  I power cycled the WAP and that seems to have solved
the problem.

Brain-dead paranoia moment past now.  Thanks for your patience.
