windows 2003 wireless advice

hi i am running a windows 2003 domain and will be upgrading to win 2008 later or mayb 2012 but for the time being i would like to setup a wireless connection on my server and wanted to know if anyone had any advice on which one i could buy ?

ive never set this up before but would like to know how although yes i have wireless via my laptop win 7 but never actually done it this way before.

i am looking on the most obvious sites but not sure what to pick

Do you have an existing wireless AP in place? If yes, is the AP connected to W2K3 server?

What's the point to add wireless connection to the server?

However, nowadays adding wireless connection to a computer should not be an issue, a lot of options available from PCI based adapters for desktop computers to USB based adapters for laptop computers.

no i have nothing!

just thought i would have a go on how to do it and maybe make use of it maybe for some visitors who wish to connect to the internet maybe.

i am not sure if i would be able to buy a physical wireless card that plugs into my pci slot

or

maybe an ethernet cable from my server plugging into some access point which has the wireless built in or something.

im on ebay looking so i can physically view one so i know what i am looking at and what is required but cant make sense of what i require specific to my windows 2003 intel machines.
