If they are using encryption you generally need the passphrase or encryption codes to gain access to the wireless network. As far as cards go, I would recommend getting Orinoco. They right around the same price as the Netgear and I've have had good experiences with them. And make sure you get the same 802.11 standard your school is using or a multi standard card (which are more expensive). -- Tom Wilson Reg.
