I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make, but... Unless one or the other provides some type of transparent 802.11 <--> 802.3 conversion AS WELL AS a means to not only sniff but to also INJECT network packets of either format, updating CTCI-WIN and/or Hercules to support 802.11 wireless networking would simply NOT be worth it IMHO.

I understand others may feel differently however.
