It's a very compliated issue. First of all, the interfering signal has to be in the same frequency band. And then they use a variety of different multiple access techniques to allow many signals to exist in the same phsyical space and frequency band. They use spreading sequences to spread the signal over a wider frequency band or time-division schemes to communicate in different time-slots - the interference would have to affect all the relevant frequencies or time slots (depending on the scheme used) so I can't tell just from this info what could be interfering. But yes, all those things you listed are possible problem causes. Do you know what frequency the wireless PCI operates at? Is it 2.4GHz - that's what's used by Bluetooth and 802.11b so if your mouse is Bluetooth - it could be interfering. All you can do is move the mouse trasceiver away from all other electromagnetic signal sources.
