I don't know of any IEEE 802.11 products. Serial is too slow, and
nobody makes NuBus cards anymore.
Your choice seems to be:
Use a wired ethernet solution to connect to a 802.11 network, via an
intermediate device like a base station.
Get a little pre-802.11 wireless device like a Breezecom
<http://www.breezecom.com>
Connect to the Internet wirelessly via a Ricochet modem
<http://www.ricochet.net>. They are rolling out service in about 20
metropolitan areas this year. They also have a LAN option that
allows you to secure-tunnel into a LAN over their network. Their
speeds range from 28.8 to 128k. My old modem worked real fast on the
new 128k network, but I think you need USB to do the 128k speeds
though. I have used their service since 1995, and *love* it.
