Yep I agree, I mean for a headless server I'd generally use just the 
server install although I'm not sure how easy it is to configure 
wireless from the command line, never managed to do it myself, but then 
I only have wireless on my notebook.

Doing a quick Google search popped up this...

If you card works out of the box without any drivers then you may find 
that this guide works (just skip the ndiswrapper stuff and go straight 
to the WPA section).

Hope this helps, I'd be interested to know if you manage to get it working.
