There is nothing to be compatible with. Wireless A (IEEE 802.11a) was the first standard of the IEEE 802.11 standard.
It's IEEE 802.3 for Ethernet and IEEE 802.11 for Wireless LANs.
NICs do not connect to applications, rather they connect to other wireless devices. IEEE 802.1 is the standard used to connect wireless NICs to other network devices.

The IEEE standard used for wireless networks is IEEE 802.11. This standard encompasses various protocols for wireless local area networks (WLANs), commonly known as Wi-Fi. Different amendments within 802.11, such as 802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.11ax, define specifications for speed, range, and performance enhancements in wireless connectivity.
No, it's a name of the standard.

The standard which is considered to be the Ethernet standard is the 802.3az standard. The 100VG-AnyLAN or 802.12 has also become a common Ethernet standard.
A wireless sensor network can use any suitable standard or non-standard protocol. Commonly used protocols include ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) and other members of the IEEE 802.15 protocol family.
