It initialized, but LinkStatus=2 seems permanent.  It fails to function in 
IBSS mode, it seems to fail in Infrastructure mode, and now I'm getting a log 
flood of these strange messages:

I've now turned the machine off and back on again twice with no change in the result.
Has my card suffered a catastrophic failure or something?
