Every time I boot up or restore from hibernation the Wireless Network
Connection in my taskbar sends me a balloon message that tells me the
Wireless connection is now connected.  I want the icon to remain on the
taskbar but want to stop the balloon notifications.  Is there a way to stop
them?

On my HP laptop I was able to get rid of those balloons. 

Right click over the wireless assistant in your taskbar
click "open your wireless assistant"
click "properties"
check the box for "disable initial status balloon"

That is probably specific to HP wireless manager but actually there's a way
to suppress balloons in Windows built-in client - by removing the connection
indicator from the system tray; that is done in the connection properties
("Show icon in notification area when connected"). However, without that,
usability suffers greatly.
