I really wouldn't suggest this.  Wireless is great but at it's best it's 
not going to be as reliable and fast as good ol' CAT5.  At it's worst, 
you'll get dropped server connections, poor performance, data 
corruption, lots of bad things.  Put your wireless AP|router in the 
basement and the server right next to it, connection via CAT5.  As far 
as card recommendations, Atheros based chips work pretty well with the 
madwifi driver.
