2.4 GHz phones which are FHSS necessarily will not let you set a channel, and will interfere with WiFi equiptment. Many phones just say "spread spectrum", and some confusingly say DSS (for "digital spread spectrum", not "direct sequence spread spectrum); as far as I know these are mostly all FHSS. Analog phones presumably will not be FHSS, and they will usually let you set the channel. Setting your WiFi channel to 1 or 11 will help, as will keeping WiFi equiptment as far from the phone as possible and minizing the phone's transmit power (I'm not sure if the phones let you do that or not).
Please complain to the card manufacturer about these problems! My former company has been trying to sell an inexpensive solution to this problem, but manufacturers all claim that it doesn't add value because nobody cares about these interference issues. Sorry for the self promotion, but you can read about the product at http://www.kromos.com/kraken_wp.pdf.
