Okay, good news, bad news, and more good news.

The Good News: after deleting that file, DSL 2.1b booted.  The boot screen also mentioned my eth0 card and appeared to do something with my ipw2200 card.

The Bad News: the wireless card still doesn't work.  Running Wlanconfig from the DSL Control Panel says "No wireless network card found."  I attempted to do a mydsl-load to try to re-install the extension, but my USB key won't mount at sda1.  The mounting GUI tells me it's "irregular" and, when I click on it, the device is mounted at /mnt/cdrom (it's not).

More Good News: I've got a half-six-pack of Sam Adams and some time to solve this tonight if anyone's feeling energetic. :)  I don't care that much about mounting the USB key for now, just getting wireless working in DSL 2.1b.

Thanks!
Ken

Eureka!  It works.  I just followed the steps here:

Thanks lucky13 and roberts for your help!  I'd sure still like to get those bugs worked out with mounting my USB key (mostly because I don't think I can save changes to connect.sh without doing that), but otherwise, I'm a happy camper.

After this experience, I'd definitely consider putting 2.4.31 in DSL 4.0 -- or, at least, doing a cost-benefit to figure out what features you're giving up from 2.4.34 to see if it's worth it.

Best,
Ken
