I've also recently tried to build a server with a pci wifi card in it but it was a pain to find a good and well-supported card under linux. After deciding that the Atheros chipset had "not bad" support, I decided to get this card. I haven't managed to make it work properly however. It doesn't seem to find my access point unless I force it to, and the other problem is that the txpower (transmission power) of the card is very low on linux. I get only about 30/100 strength when the machine is right next to the access point!
The main reason I got this card is because it is the ONLY card from among a FEW that I found that purported to support WPA! I couldn't believe that most of the pci cards available in general only seemed to support upto 128-bit WEP, unless I have been looking in the wrong place or something.
I also have a 1.5 year old ASUS Centrino laptop that now works beautifully out-of-the-box with Ubuntu Breezy! Mind you, I still had to compile some modules to get WPA working, but SUSE 9.3 onwards or so has WPA on this laptop working as well from a fresh install with no tweaking.
As per the original poster, I was thinking about buying this Intel Mini-PCI adapter instead. I've been out of the loop a bit lately, but I think you can buy an adapter that will allow you to plug in a mini-pci card onto a normal pci slot? If so, then I might exchange my Netgear with this, that should work much better.
The book "Showstopper: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT" is actually a pretty good look into the development of NT. It covers it until NT was released, so it doesn't have any Windows 2000 or NT 4.0 specific stuff.
Unfortunately it only seems to be available in Amazon's zShops, or B&N's used & old stuff store.

there's an older but great mp3 of how google is set up at ddj's technetcast website. The speaker is Jim Reese, Chief Operations Engineer at google.

PS. On that website, I think the link to the mp3 doesn't work, but if you manully ftp into the server and get the file manually, it's fine.
