    That made no difference.
    After worrying with this for a while I realized that I only had one
    dongle, and that I have been using it with the ethernet card on various
    laptops for several years. It has only recently begun giving me this
    problem so I began to suspect it may have gotten damaged (especially
    since I let a friend use the ethernet card for his laptop some time ago)

    I got a new (and of course better) pc card and that one works
    flawlessly. A linksys PCM200 and when I plugged it in the machine
    loaded the tulip driver and it just works. No dongles on this one to get
    damaged. :-)
