My experience with PCI NIC's is that the settings are retained, even
if the PC is powered off. Assuming the laptop has USB ports, you might
want to try a USB network adapter at this point (same brand as the
router would be safest). Or even a PC Card adapter, although I think
they're more expensive (and a USB one could be used on a desktop PC).
When I was setting up a Netgear Wireless Media Player and couldn't get
it to talk to the Netgear Access Point, I bought a Netgear wireless
USB adapter at either CompUSA or Best Buy for $30 (after rebates).
Plugging it into a PC and seeing it hook up immediately with the
access point proved to me that the access point was working OK. Then I
could keep plugging away at the media player until I could get IT to
talk to the access point.
