Some further thoughts and findings:
I was experiencing some random traps (see below) with HPFS386 in use alongside even the latest Broadcom driver. In addition, I was seeing the situation exacerbated when the Cisco 350 driver was also loaded. I have switched over (temporarily, I hope) to 16-bit HPFS, and the system seems to be more stable.
Not so fast. I started seeing regular Trap D's, even with the 16-bit HPFS IFS. I uninstalled WPS Wizzard, and every single time I ran the uninstal.cmd, it would trap the system. File system? Who knows. I rolled the kernel back from the 14.103a level which ships with eCS 1.2 MR to 14.100e, which I knew to be stable on my T30. I have not tried moving forward to a newer kernel as yet, but 14.100e did seem to resolve the trap issue in this regard.
XWLAN (latest version: 2.12) will install, but shows the Cisco interface as disabled (I have also tried the previous build, which is working fine with my ThinkPad T30, with the same result). In additon, when the widget is installed, it will not survive a reboot. By this, I mean that upon restarting and loading eCenter, I get a number of exception beeps, followed by a message that the dll could not be loaded and asking me if I want to disable the XWLAN widget. No matter how I respond to this prompt, the system is deadlocked, and even the CAD handler won't help beyond a reboot.
Further testing shows that the widget will install properly and survive a reboot, as long as the Cisco driver is not loaded. Once the driver is loaded (whether or not the card is inserted), eCenter will not come up, and instead gives a series of exception beeps. From the most recent ewptrap.log:

Explanation: An attempt was made to access a memory object which does
not belong to the current process. Most probable causes
for this are that an invalid pointer was used, there was
confusion with administering memory or error conditions

One last thing: I posted a note on the notebook/2 mailing list concerning the extraordinarily long time it takes for NETBIND to run on this machine. It is excruciating (over a minute, at my last timing).
The 14.100e kernel seems to have improved this delay somewhat, though I don't have any quantitative evidence, merely my own impression (i.e., I haven't actually timed it).
