The PCI card is an older carrier, well made (Dell marque), for the Aironet pc-card
I then manually modprobed in airo, and re-ran the tool. The wireless card appeared (improperly) at eth0 the first time shown -- but going past the incorrect setting to the next screen, and then using Back, caused it to re-appear at the proper interface (eth1).
Finally, it is throwing (hamless<?>) errors into the console thus: Warning : Device eth1 has been compiled with version 13 of Wireless Extension, while we are using version 12. Some things may be broken...
