The only other connection there is for the standard wired
RJ45 which -- as it correctly notes -- is currently unplugged.

It says "Wireless connection unavailable" (not "disabled"),
and the Properties for that connection shows the Orinoco
PC card as what it's using.  So why is it "unavailable",
when I'm clearly getting a good wireless connection?

But I didn't reinstall the card, it just did this during the
upgrade.

Control Panel doesn't indicate so.
