Well, I think I found the error. After having some difficulty trying to connect to a high security wireless network (don't worry, it was authorized) I found a more up to date driver than the one that was sent with the card and installed it. That, together with an uninstall/re-install earlier in the day and somehow I wound up with two RoamAbout apps trying to control the card, each with a slightly different name, and only one of which was listed in the Device Manager.
I just deleted one of them and haven't seen the error message since.
There's still a few proprietary application issues to work out. Some of the network monitoring programs recognize the card but don't catch the packets. That could be configuration, driver, or chipset related, I'll just have to take on those one by one.
Thanks for your interest.
