I guess it has something to do with your network original settings, what I've posted was only an example, but if for example, in your wireless networking you had a static IP and my example was given for a dynamic IP, it may explain your problem.
Also, after reboot, if you press Alt+F2 and then on the command line window you type "nm-applet" and run, does the network icon appears on your notification area?
If it opens, can you see the wireless network available for connection?
I think it may have also problems with the wired<-->wireless connection, I think that it might be impossible to "bridge" between them in order to make it work like you want.
I guess that if this doesn't work, you'll have to think about buying a wireless card for your desktop PC, or even a wireless access point , not a router, which allows you to bridge between wired and wireless connections, you plug it's wired jack to a PC, set it as a "client" of the wireless network, and there you go, as if you had a wireless card on your desktop. Nowadays it shouldn't cost more than 20-30 bucks
