Maybe you yanked to hard? :-)

Were both of these adapters on the same subnet? Was the Wi-Fi card static?
Did you use the remove Hardware Wizard?
Win2k will leave the hardware and its settings in the registry unless you
run the remove hardware wizard.
When running the remove hardware wizard, if the device has already been
physically removed it will be a hidden device.
Do you get a message when you try to ping the gateway?
BTW, Zone Alarm has been known to cause some really weird stuff.
