Wireless PXE netboot w/ wavelan

I have a setup that uses PXEboot to netboot several systems using
DHCP for configuration.
I need a new node that uses a wavelan card to do similar.
From what I see I need to make PXE work with that adapter. Once
the interface is configured making the custom kernel do the
rest is not hard.
If I cannot somehow recompile the PXE loader to work with
wavelan I may be able to recompile grub to do a similar process?
Anyone have any experience with this?
Key is that either of these processes would need wavelan drivers.
I think PXE uses DOS or NDIS?
These are older wavlan B 11mb cards.
TIA

I don't think there is wireless adapter which can work without driver
(more accurately, without firmware in the driver). If you have floppy,
then load the kernel from floppy.
