Are you planning a WAN or just a LAN? (Internet?)

All the major NIC manufacturers make wireless nics. 3com, Intel, etc. You need to check into distances, obstacles, and specifications of these manufacturers' wireless products to determine what will fulfill your needs.

Usually you will find that "quality" means greater costs. You might also need a wireless hub and that hub should be placed in a central location. Internet access is desired, that hub will need to sit by that connection.

This is a vote for 3COM, but with a network of this size, security is more important than the hardware you choose.
Put some study into preventing this network from being hacked.
