Actually, the hint from one of the other folks regarding sending a reset 
(turned out to actually be "reconnect") to the driver seems to have done 
the trick. 

Still not working is my Broadcom wireless NIC and I'm still seeing a lot 
of clock drift.  Everything seems to be set right for the wireless NIC 
so my guess is I just need to discover the right incantation to get the 
radio to actually turn on.  The clock drift issue was also discussed in 
another post so it sounds like there is a kernel patch to at least get 
it down to something reasonable.  I'll see if it get fixed in the kernel 
at some point and, if not, I'll probably be stuck continuing to compile 
a custom kernel.
