Did you use bootcamp or a virtualization software? Either way there are a suite of drivers that you need to load to make the Windows OS mesh properly with your machine. In bootcamp this is done pretty smoothly by the mac side - I don't know if it works as well in the virtual environment. Either way you can go in on the mac side of your machine and figure out exactly what wireless card you have and then track down the windows driver to load on the dark side of your machine.
