I believe I understood your problem.  You asked if WiFi could get drive 
mappings, my answer was a round about yes, but I only use one card at a 
time which is what I would suggest you do if only for trouble shooting.  
Also you need Netbios or Netbios over TCP/IP for file and print sharing 
TCP/IP by itself can't do that.  Windoze has netbios built into its 
TCP/IP protocol, so Windoze TCP/IP isn't pure, its a hybrid protocol.
