Well, Wireless is 802.11 which indeed isn't 802.3 / Ethernet.  But that's not really relevant.  The question is whether it uses Ethernet addressing and offers an Ethernet-compatible MAC layer API, and 802.11 certainly does.  You can run SimH Ethernet just fine over a wireless LAN.  I've run PDP11 SimH that way with no problems.
