I think you are going to want the UNDI/SNP to produce a PXE_IFTYPE_ETHERNET.

In general a lot of the 802.11 stuff is how to establish the connection, and
after the connection is established the connection it is basically ethernet.
So you driver is going to need extra stuff to establish the connection prior to
publishing the UNDI. The UEFI sig is doing work in this area, if your company
is a member you may want to look into that.
