I've done it with RH71, kernel 2.4.9, with a Prism2-based card.  Wireless
is no different than wireline -- just slower.  I wouldn't want to run my
homedir from AFS over 802.11, but for casual access it's just fine.

For that matter, I use OpenAFS over my 768/128K ADSL connection from home.
Again, it's fine for casual access, but I wouldn't want to run
applications from it.
