The post at http://cs.thefoleyhouse.co.uk/blogs/karl/archiv... explains how to make bridged networking work with a WLAN card in VMWare server 1.0.X, though the details are sparse. It worked for me. (Vista Business SP1 host, Ubuntu 7.04 server guest).

Basically, you need to:
1. Make a registry change that tells VMWare to allow Windows network bridging
2. Add a new virtual network adaptor (Virtual Network Editor->Host Virtual Adapters tab)
3. Remove the DHCP scope for the adapter added in (2) (Virtual Network Editor->DHCP tab)
4. Bridge the adapter added in (2) with your host wireless connection
