Connecting Wireless to NIC or PCI 1.1

I have an old pc which I would like to network with the rest of the
ones I run (mainly for kids' games).
Unfortunately it runs Win95, is slow (90 MHz), and has an old Version
1.1of the PCI bus.
Hence, it won't take a PCI 2 compatible wireless card.
It has a wired NIC.
Any suggestions on how to link to the wireless network.

You could use an ethernet-to-wireless bridge, but that's going to be
worth more than the PC.

Or USB, which is beyond the extent of my 'off the top of my head'
knowledge.

USB support was pretty dodgy in Windows95 - the machine would run a
stripped-down version of Windows98SE, but then the license would be
worth more than the PC :-)

Never tried it myself but I know it can technically be done. Not
recommended though!

That was what I started to write then realised that you could probably
get a new W98SE PC on eBay for the same price as W98SE. I could lay my
hands on a van full of cheap W98SE PC's for 'nowt if I had the
inclination to go and fetch them.
