A card doing FHSS (that is, for 11g) might be enough. So, FHSS-802.11,
or, even better, because it hops faster, Bluetooth might be enough.

For 11a, there might be more trouble. 11h might be more difficult
because of its dynamic channel selection, which tries to avoid crowded
subcarriers.

Not necessarily, as stated above.

Best regards,
