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'll have to give it a try.  Well, on a Beaglebone Black, that is (I don't like closed hardware, or hardware that tries to be open but that uses a closed chip at the center).
