Well, after giving up for a while, during which time my laptop suspended itself to disk, I came back intending to keep trying. When I went to restart my ethernet connection (it never reconnects by itself, I always have to tell it to reconnect), there on the KNetworkManager menu were three wireless networks in range, among which was my own Grotto! It asked for the passphrase, which I gave it, and it connected immediately. Strangely enough (according to what I've understood from Google), KWiFiManager still doesn't work. But it seems I don't need it now. The normal network manager did just fine on its own. Hans van der Merwe, thank you so much for your help! I appears ipw3945d was all I needed, although it took several hours and a suspension for the computer to figure out that it was working :-).
