Thank you. Brian.  I'm glad that your brain is turned on, even if mine is not.

It detected the card - as you say, why shouldn't it?  It detected my SSID.  It 
asked about encryption, asked for the passphrase, got given it - and went 
back to the beginning:  which network do you want, which method of 
encryption, what is the passphrase - and again, back to the beginning.  I 
tried three or four times.

I have a new card on order from Amazon in case.  They have a new definition of 
next day delivery.  Ordered 3rd delivered 5th.  I was in all day today (which 
is why I ordered it expecting delivery today).  I am not in all day tomorrow.  
It may come while I am in.  If not, we get into the Post Office's idea of 
redelivery.  The parcel has to sit in the delivery office for two days before 
they can attempt redelivery.  Oh, well. :-(
