Ok, so here is my odessy... I have a Cisco AM10 that works fine if the machine is also connected by a hard wired connection, and not at all if the wireless is the only network connection.
By working fine, I mean it shows up on the desktop and connects to my wireless network (can tell it was successful from the router).
I took no special steps to get the adapter working. The attached are the previously requested commands from the PC when it is booted without the hard link (so non-working). My guess is that some change in the start-up process will solve this problem.
