          Sorry I'm confused, which NIC are you asking about now? Or are you asking about your planned network?

              That should be no problems as long as it comes with the half height bracket, or you've already got one.

                  If you've got a dremel with a cutting blade, it's a piece of cake to turn a full height bracket into a half height! ;-)

                        We'll need a lot information than that!
                        What wireless hardware? What have you tried? What didn't work?
