this maybe caused by the power consumption of the wireless adapter. All 
the current needs to be transferred over the mainboard. Try to use 
different usb ports.
I once bought a pcmcia usb-adapter with a separate power supply. This 
could solve your problems.
most of the cards below feature a power plug, but I don't know if the 
ship the power supply as well.
