You have got to try it for yourself :) I have received
successful reports about Nokia 7650, so there is a
pretty good chance you can make it work :) You most 
likely can use your Bluetooth enabled cell phone as
a wireless modem. You need to download and install
rfcommd from ports/.

I have recently get Ericsson T68 and the basic stuff
works. I did not try wireless modem because I do not
have this service with my provider. It is still somewhat
expensive  +$8 a month + traffic.

USB dongles: 3COM, EPoX, Mitsumi, MSI and TDK. also
if your USB dongle has CSR chip in it then it pretty
much guaranteed to be supported.

PCCARD: 3COM and Xircom(*). Xircom card is a 16550A
UART based card and may not work very well because of
"sio" driver issues. The same is true for any 16550A
UART based card. However if you can convince your
system give separate IRQ for PCCARD and "sio" driver
uses fast interrupts then this card might work well
for you. I managed to do so on my not so -current
and OLDCARD.
