I don't need a wireless card that supports Draft 802.11n and IEEE 802.11a, do I? Because 802.11n isn't even offically out yet and 802.11a is uncommon? huh.gif Thanks.

I don't think you can hit A and N very easily.
However, you can get a A and G card...
Random example: http://cgi.ebay.com/CISCO-AIRONET-AIR-CB21...1QQcmdZViewItem

802.11A is quite uncomon. It is 5.8ghz and that stuff is a bit rare.

802.11N is backwards compatible with G... however with just a G card I don't think you can really benefit from the N speed, range, and other fun features.
