This is an old 802.11b card. I'd be surprised if you can get enough
bandwidth from this to properly stream MythTV. You need at least 7Mbps
sustained for proper streaming, and the supposed 11Mbps for 802.11b is
mostly wishful thinking. But the only way to find out for sure is to
test it.
My plan is to have both the front and back end on the same box and do no
streaming of video over the net. The net connection is strictly for (1)
zap2it, and (2) ssh from the outside world in case I notice that a "Greg
the Bunny" retrospective needs to be recorded, and I'm at work.
With that clarification, do I still need more throughput?

That should be plenty of bandwidth until you decide you need to watch
"Greg the Bunny" at work ;)
You might also put mythfrontend on your other computers. I have it
installed on my laptop and my regular workstation. You can run video in
a window if you want to do something like monitor a live event while
still working.
Because the mythtv packages come from atrpms.net, you just need to do
something like:
# yum install mythtv-frontend
to get just the frontend if you have atrpms in your yum repo list.
