as always, any help is graciously accepted with many thanks.

i deal with this crap all the time. go to the website of the wireless router and the wireless card and check for any firmware updates. I'll bet you 10-1 there is an update for it, and ill bet you 20-1 your not upto date. upgrading the frimware alone solves 99% of the issues.
