Here I post some of my day to day ideas, most of them about programs I don't have time to write
a) Usually WIFI cards do not integrate the PXE bios. I have never seen one that does have you?b) Interactive. Questions will need to be asked, like SSID, WEP key for example. Not a huge problem.c) Security implications? Depends f your pxe image is sensative. But some OS's disclose an NFS server address for root mounting.d) Size of drivers. Some OS's insist that their install ramdisks fit on floppies. The wifi firmware may not fit.These are issues that spring to mind. However there are hacks around a) atleast:http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/WirelessLTSPClientsUsingAnEthernetBridge
Old article I know, but latest versions of Anaconda support this, in an experimental form.However I, like vext01, have yet to see hardware to match.
