Jon-Inge, I use a D-Link PCI card and router and have generally found that my entire PC hangs if the wireless network key is invalid, if the wireless network cannot be found, etc. There seems to be something really dodgy about their network drivers. There are some stability updates for the router I'm using (the older 614+), which I suspect may help, but of course they're only available for U.S. units... :(
VNC network data has different timing characteristics to most normal data transfers, so it's possible that in your case, a bug in the driver or router is being tripped by the VNC traffic characteristics, causing the host PC to hang. One note: my PC invariably returns from the dead after a few minutes of seeming to be completely hung, when the network is misbehaving. Hope that helps.
