Alright, I've moved the printf down a few lines and recompiled.

It's actually been running just fine since I got home.  I'm still using
wpa_supplicant, but with WEP instead of WPA.  This has been about four
hours.  Not much network traffic, but certainly more than what causes
the problem at work.

I'm going to let it continue to run through the night.  I have a cron
job setup to transfer several 800 meg files to this laptop via scp, so
it'll be interesting to see if that works over this driver.

Tomorrow morning, when I get into work, I'll grab the debug output
again, this time with the printf (hopefully) in the correct place.
