Kindly Jay,
For what it is worth, in the beginning, there were a pretty good
number of wireless ISA cards - much of the time, IIRC, they were
essentially PCMCIA<-->ISA bridge type things. It does appear that some
of the ISA Aironet (ISA4800 and maybe the 4500?) cards have DOS driver
support. (
http://www.aironet.lv/support.htm and
http://www.aironet.lv/products.htm) The only listed requrement is a
16-bit ISA slot. I'm just not quite sure whether the packet driver
wants a 386 to install / run.
There also are some Orinoco PCMCIA cards with DOS support. They could
be used with an ISA<-->PCMCIA bridge. Alas, though, I don't know if
that would be any closer to working with a 286.
Anywho, hope this helps a small bit.
Have a good one! :)
Andy
