You should really post these into the wireless networking forum, and hardware forums respectively. For your wireless card, please include the exact make + model of your card.

With regards to backing up files to a Windows server, you'd probably want to be looking at configuring Samba to connect into Windows shares. This way, instead of copying your files to tape or CD, you'd simply copy them to a windows share mounted on your Linux box. Check the Samba website for info on how to do this - there will be Samba packages for Red Hat you can easily install.
