No direct support for Wifi cards, but you can use a wifi bridge connected to a
supported ethernet card in the terminal. I have two wifi bridges: an old
Linksys 802.11b single port bridge and a new Buffalo 802.11g "Ethernet
Converter" with 4 ports. Both work with my DevonIT 6020P (PXE boot) terminal.
With the old, 11Mbps Linksys 802.11b bridge I had to add a kernel option to
reduce NFS packet size (same problem you have when using a gigabit NIC on a
server and 100Mbps on a terminal). My server uses a 100Mbps NIC.
With the new Buffalo bridge, I can use WPA1 Personal (draft 802.11i PSK)
security with AES encryption and I can hook up to 4 devices (terminals) to
the bridge. Cheaper than buying 4 Wifi cards ($66.23 from Amazon.com). The
bridge I use is the:
Buffalo Technology
AirStation Turbo G
High Power Wireless
Ethernet Converter ( WLI-TX4-G54HP )
