do I get to be connected to Internet by cable to a network before the card is installed
No that's not necessary.
and way I keep losing the installation
Don't know. It looks like windows is loading somekind of defaultsetting everytime you boot. This may sound strange, but try changing your backgroundimage and then reboot the laptop. Is the image still changed or is it back to what is was?lose the Card installation
What do you mean? Is the driver uninstalled or is the program in the systemtray gone?
You can check if the driver is still there via control panel (don't know all the English categories..)
