The computer boots when the usb adapter is removed, but when the adaoter is in the usb port the computer will not boot. If I plug in the adapter after the computer has booted everything works. What is going on?

There is probably a setting in the BIOS to disable booting from a network device. A USB Wireless 'can' be considered a network device. Disable the ability to boot from the network.

By the way, if you wait long enough, the boot sequence which is searching for a boot from the network should eventually time out.
