Question : Linksys WPC54G is inactive

Situation:
I have a Linksys router at home and the same one at work.  I use the same Linksys card for each location.  For compatibility, the security on my home network (no WEP) is less than at work (128 WEP-no SSID broadcast)

For some reason, the WLAN monitor on my LT will no longer find my wireless card.  It just says 'WPC54G is inactive' - Due to my decreased security at home, I am able to connect by bypassing the WLAN monitor and simply using XP's auto configure function (not thrilled about using it, but it's a bandaid for now), but at work - that doesn't work.

I have tried:
*Re-installing the WLAN monitor
*Re-installing the device
*latest firmware on the card
*oldest firmware on the card
microsoft updates, installs
verifying windows isn't configuring the card when i'm at the office

i tried the * in different orders, knowing how fickle Linksys is, I thought i may just have some steps out of order.

any help, or others sharing in my misery would be greatly appreciated!
cheers,
