Well, yes and no. While adding a network adapter shouldn't cause any slowdowns (that is, after it poles the hardware for the first time), adding a network protocol that doesn't belong most certainly can. Have you determined that it is, in fact, ePSXe that causes it? I know that if you having certain protocols installed (DHCP comes to mind, for instance) can cause intermittent slowdowns since they're polling your networking hardware for non-existant data.
Obviously, I don't know what particular protocols you had installed previously, but you might want to check out your networking properties and see if there's something that doesn't belong.
By that same token, there wouldn't happen to be an application that was installed with your Linksys that runs in the background, would there? If so, perhaps it's also doing some sort of polling.
Of course, if it *were* ePSXe then I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a loss, given that it could be any number of things, perhaps a driver that was disturbed during the installiation of the wireless networking's software.
