Wireless PCI NIC in my freesco box?

[Speedy Lan]

Hello all,

To start off, I have never dabbled in the arcane arts of wireless networking because I have always felt they can not really be made safe and solid.
But, there is always a but, I have been thinking of putting a PCI wireless NIC into my Freesco box, and have this separate network up for testing etc.

So, therefore I have some questions, perhaps someone does know an answer on one of them.

1] Does it work, if I plug in a wireless PCI NIC?
Will Freesco be able to use that as a new network?

2] If I go buy one, what kind of driver does it need to have, if I remember correctly the drivers are .o-files.
Many cards nowadays just support XP, vista and W7, and I guess that there will not be the kind of driver that we need for Freesco.
Perhaps they can emulate some common NIC and we can use the inbuild drivers in Freesco?

3] All those cards they come with setup-software, again, just for windows, is it possible to setup a connection in some other way?

As an example of some possible NIC's I can buy here, I provide 2 links:

Any reactions are greately appreciated.

edit:
One more question:
That NIC will become an Internal network with nothing else on it except for some testing machine or some war-driver that has gained illegal access.
The HTTP-control panel will be a great security risk* , it should not be available on the wireless network, can that be done somehow?

Thanks Lightning,

for again a little more insight in the occult arts of firewalling.
(Occult meaning here just 'hidden'. )

I think I am now ready to make it so on my real life freesco box, after doing all the tests in the Virtualbox.
