We have in fact done wireless clients but I am not sure about that WMP11 card. I have heard of people having a ton of troubles getting those to work with linux. We use a cisco 350 PCI and or a linksys WET 11 on the linux clients. The WET11 is my personal favorite since it provides a straight ethernet connection and no other drivers are necessary.
I must note we do not actually use LTSP because we load linux on each deployed machine. Still very much the same concept but our workstations have linux loaded local and are not network booted. Your wireless setup should still work just fine...
