I'd be interested to find out more about your solution: are you looking to
use a PCMCIA Wi-Fi card with a HandheldPC device or a CF 802.11b (a.k.a.
Wi-Fi) card with a PocketPC device?
If the latter, do you have any links to any CF-Card format hardware? There
have been a plethora of Wi-Fi PC-Cards on the market lately, but CF...?
For the PalmOS, Xircom is developing a Wi-Fi Springboard for the Handspring
Visor with an announced availability of "Fall 2000", so this could be a
viable alternative:

Also, with all of the activity in the Bluetooth arena, wireless-connected
handhelds will certainly be with us before too long.
Cheers,
Dan
