Umm, if this is a desktop you could run an AP in client mode and the computer will not even know it's wireless, solved my problem before it started. Mike

That is actually a good suggestion if you happen to have a spare wireless router/AP. By plugging the desktop machine's ethernet port into a wireless AP, then running that AP in client mode so that it connects to the main wireless AP, the desktop machine simply thinks it is talking to a wired connection. The RF side effectively becomes a wireless ethernet bridge to the main wireless router. No wireless NIC drivers, no messing around on the client machine with authentication etc; let the wireless AP client take care of all of that.
