I to want to input an RS232 Serial or USB signal into a wireless device to be received by a PC on a 802.11 wireless network. The wireless device should be portable and be battery operated.
Does anyone have a circuit or is there a commercial module that can do this?
Your help would be greatly apprecviated.
this?
So perhaps what you want is something like a "micro web server"
or if you want a packaged solution pertaps try running a web server on a pocket PC or similar small portable? Perhaps even a smart phone?
It's called a laptop computer.
get a used one with a busted screen if cost is an issue.

A linksys WUSB54G might work. You'll need to do some programming, or have it done for you, though. There are open-source (Linux) drivers for its Ralink chipset. It gets its power off the USB port, wouldn't that work as well as batteries? There's also the BGW200 module, but that's even more work.
This is the simplest approach:
