Unless you're getting some really old motherboard, nearly every one today comes with a NIC...

I looked for the board on eBay (couldnt find it anywhere else) and in the description, it says it does.

You would need a wireless card to go wireless, the nic just means you dont need an ethernet card to plug into you pci if you plan on connecting through all them lovely ethernet cables. For wireless you would still need a wireless router plus card for each computer.
