From: Ed Durrant <edurrantDESPAM at bigpond.net.au> 

Linksys has just released two Wireless Game Adapter units, one conforming
to the 802.11b standard and one conforming to the 802.11g standard. These
allow connectivity back to the appropriate access points.

While primarily designed for the PlayStation/X-box/GameCube crowd, the
fact that they need no drivers means they will work on any OS platform,
including OS/2. They are external ethernet connected devices, so you can
move them between systems as required. Due to the volume market prices are
not much more than plug in PCI cards.
