What are some of the error messages you are getting in the logs on the
server and the workstation?

It sounds like the workstation is unable to find the Domain controller.

Is there anything installed on the workstations that would interfere with
network traffic?

You said the problem the problem affects the wireless clients only. What
happens if you connect the laptop to the network using a network cable?

The clients use UDP to authenticate. We have seem issues whereby the UDP
packets will get fragmented and authentication will fail. You can switch
Kerberos to use TCP by making a registry change. TCP will usually handle
the fragmentation better.

The article on switching the machine to use TCP instead of UDP is 244474
