You may not need admin rights for the wireless itself, if the PC can automate the install and use the inbuilt windows software. If yo have to add software specific to the card, or using the card changed windows settings, admin rights would probaby be needed.

Depends on the network it is intended to be used with but you might even have to make some changes to the settings or whatever to change from the specific domain it expects to use, and the new wireless one. The existing network card might be bound to a specific IP address or range, as well as the domain. IE or similar could have links to use specific proxys.
