We have a wireless network in our house, using the 2Wire DSL/Router Modem. If I purchase an Airport Card, will it be able to pick up the signal thereby letting me use our wireless network?
Or do I have to buy a 3rd Party card to do so since the Airport requires an Airport Base Station?

it does NOT require an airport base station!
what type of mac are you using, and what type of wireless network--a, b, or g?

The 2Wire HomePortal uses "HyperG" technology for our home network. I would assume the Airport g frequency is compatible with that.

Check with 2Wire's tech support web site-their "HyperG" technology could be a proprietary means of getting more than 54Mbps out of an 802.11g network. If it's just their name for 802.11g (like AirPort Extreme is Apple's name for it), then you should be fine.
