NetBSD supports 802.11b, but as far as that card, I
don't know. Some searching is probably in order.

Yes. Install Windows first, then install NetBSD. There
is no configuration to do, it does it all by itself.
You'll get a menu when you boot asking you which OS to
start.

Last time I checked, NetBSD performed much better on
32 bit Sparcs than Linux. This could be different now,
but I'm guessing it's still true. The install is easy
and for the most part, it all works just like i386 or
any other port.
