Just use a 10baseT<->802.11 bridge.  The Linksys WET11 is about
$60, and they're trivial to set up and completely transparent
to the the attached device.

Write up you've found out about what it will take to do what
you're tasked to do.  Estimate how long it will take, and
propose ways to reduce the scope.  Like using an existing eCos
Ethernet driver and a 10baseT/802.11b gateway.
