As Ian explains below, it's been done before. The issue is that it is 
the OLD WaveLan card, which is not compatable with the current 802.11b 
2.4Ghz cards and hubs.

You can set up a private network if you can find one of the base units 
that you can set up as a hub to a regular lan.

We've used a Digital RoamAbout (should be WaveLan compatible - it works
with those drivers) which says DEIWB-BA Rev. A on the back, and says on the
box:

 Digital RoamAbout DS/PC Card, Compatible with the RoamAbout DS/ISA NIC for
 desktop devices (uses 915MHz or 2.4GHz)

I've not seen any of the true ATT WaveLAN cards here, so I don't know what
models are available.  As I understand things at the moment, the 11Mb data
rate cards (802.11 compatible) are not currently supported.
