Finally got back to this today, after I had the machine with me in a very
nice MD office where I had to wait a while (MJ's appointmnet) and
discovered that they had wifi in the waiting room. It connected right up
when I clicked "hotspot" in XWLAN.

Back home now, I got the same mess; XWLAN turned a muddy kakhi color and
nothing happened.  I finally enabled ssid broadcast and it started
working.

I'm not sure I understand why it had previously worked and then stopped
with the SSID broadcast disabled.  I've again set it to allow only a
selected list of MAC addresses, and it's still OK.
