Tonight I was able to verify that the Dlink DWL-2100AP access point
does have a client mode. This would make the configuration c) work
that we discussed at the Help Desk meeting on Sunday. For others that
would be connecting the PC's lan port to the access point's lan port
and using the AP in client mode to connect to the wireless network.

The other option for an external wireless client is to use one of the
gaming (Xbox, PlayStation) wireless clients such as Dlink's DWL-G810,
DWL-G820 or DGL-3420 devices. This provides O/S independent wireless
connectivity. It may not be as portable as a wireless mPCI or PC card
adapter, but it will provide wireless support for OS/2 without much
hassle until native OS/2 wireless drives for other than PRISM chipset
wireless adapters become available.
