Hi Samuel: There is a hardware solution the gaming folks use to connect a wired computer to a wireless network without requiring any wireless drivers. These aren't cheap, but they work.
As an example, the Netgear ME101: http://www.trustedreviews.com/networking/review/2003/12/10/Netgear-ME101-Wireless-Bridge/p1 A wireless bridge is a device that can connect a standard Ethernet device to a wireless network seamlessly. One such device is the Netgear ME101 and I have to say that it works like an absolute dream. Or the Linksys: http://reviews.cnet.com/Linksys_WET54G_Wireless_G_Ethernet_bridge/4505-3265_7-30460920.html Note that you will probably need a Windows box to CONFIGURE the bridge, but once configured, you can plug in a standard ethernet cable from your DOS computer to this and it will connect to a wireless network. DOS thinks the connection is just the standard wired connection. I have successfully used one of these (a Belkin no longer in production) to put a DOS box on a wireless LAN. Hope this helps.
