That sheds more light on it.
Has the wired NIC (or NIC's on some motherboards) been disabled? If they are enabled, there may be some type of conflict.
But, from the many posts, this is a problem device, it looks like the best option is to use a different wireless NIC. I don't like to "give in" but in this case it looks like the best option.
BTW, I'm using the wired Atheros NIC on my motherboard. Atheros AR8151.
