Not sure if this will help you. The wireless network is
at a lower level than the operating system, so if you
network via wireless (wi-fi)it should work as long as the
wi-fi cards are supported by the operating systems. It
doesn't matter whether you get PCI, USB or a combination.
This is only an interface issue for the computer itself.
