I've had the same thing happen with an Orinoco Gold card and Windows 98.
One thing you can try is opening a command prompt and typing "ipconfig
/renew_all" without the quotes of course and seeing if it will renew the IP
address and reconnect.
BTW the XP laptop here in the office will reconnect but it has built in
wireless. I run a tail on the Radius server and I've seen it log in 4 times
in a minuite.

Have you recently patched Windows XP? Are you using the Windows Network
Control panel to configure your card?

Install the Linksys drivers and utilities. Configure your card with the
Linksys utilities.

Windows network configuration broke my connection a few months back and it
took me a month to find the solution.

I have 3 Linksys products and I love them.
