These are usually sold as wireless gaming devices. As an example see
http://accessories.gateway.com/AccessoryStore/PC+Accessories_316441/Networking+_A1_+Modems_316719/Wireless+Networking_316729/Wireless+Access+Points_316754/2424567_ProdDetail?cm_ven=Google&cm_cat=Consumer&cm_pla=Froogle_CEAS&cm_ite=WGE101_Wireless_802.11G_Ethernet_Bridge
All you need is a supported ethernet card. The bridge plugs into the
ethernet port. OS/2 would just see it as any other cabled connection.
Its not practical for a laptop, but would work well for a server.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That in it's essence, is Fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power."
