You need to check the properties of the "docked" profile. My guess is the profile is osmehow set to disengage the wireless card as soon as it is docked, which would seem to be normal as it would assume you are going wired.
It might also be that your wireless card gets a funny IP address when its docked - We've had linksys equipment do the same - the wifi card had a static ip address (192.168.2.55) whereas the router was set to DHCP on our network (192.168.1.215). So the wifi card was broadcasting going 'Hello, is anybody there' type of thing, and the router was ignoring it. The diagnostics showed the same thing. So make sure your ip on the network card is set properly for your docked profile.
