I don't know that the appropriate work has been done to have any wifi cards
work on Sparc systems. I don't see any mentioned in the BigAdmin HCL.

Since you aren't too concerned with bulk and tidyness, a simple solution
should be to use a wifi to ethernet adapter. This would avoid the issues
of convincing the Ultra 10 that wifi card X really is an ethernet adapter.

One such product is the Linksys Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge WET54G. They
retail in the UK for around GBP 50.00.

A clumsier solution would be to fire up a laptop with wifi next to the
Ultra 10, and have it act as a router / switch.
