PCI Ethernet and PCI Wireless Card Not Cooperating

Background:

Recently acquired a cable modem and cable internet
service.

As a result, also acquired three (3) PCI wireless cards
and one (1) wireless cable-dsl router (All wireless
products are US Robotics.)

Problem Encountered:

When I install the "wireless" PCI card on the host PC,
supporting the ethernet card and the cable modem, my
windows xp 'hangs up' on reboot.

It seems the ethernet and wireless cards need some
additional commands and/or scripts in order to work
together.

I have no clue on what to do next. Any advice would be
appreciated. Thanks!

Connect the router's WAN port to the cable modem. Connect all computers
wirelessly to the router's wireless access point. There is
theoretically no ethernet in the mix, and all LAN connections can be
disabled. Practically, during setup of the wireless system, one
computer should be connected to the router by its ethernet connection
while setting up and debugging wireless problems and for initial DSL
setup on the router as well. Install this computer's wireless after the
DSL is set up OK and the wireless system is running reliably on the
other wireless computers.
