Hello, with more and more going along with BeOS, such as Zeta and OpenBeOS, I have been getting quite excited for the future of BeOS. Does the Dano version of BeOS support USB Wireless Internet with BONE? Also, are there plans for its support in other releases like Zeta and OpenBeOS?

Well, support for usb is limited. I think it unlikely that a usb wireless driver will be made any time soon. I have never seen one.
The only wireless drivers are for pcmcia cards. It wouldn't be too hard for the Zeta team to make pci drivers but going down the usb path is quite another story. It can be done but it is just waiting for someone to code it.
