Wi-Fi ethernet connection

Hello,
          In my embedded application (process control) based on
coldfire processor, the ethernet module is interfaced with  intel
ethernet transciever to achieve an ethernet connection. With the second
version of the product, we are intending to make it Wi-Fi.With the
existing system intact, can we integrate Wi-Fi communication by the
addition of a Wi-Fi chip. I had searched the  www but found designs
only for mobile phones,routers and the like.Do suggest a problem to get
over this .Expecting your valuable suggestions

Not sure if you explicitly want to route your ethernet circuitry into a
chip that will create WiFi, but if not an alternative could be
something like the Lantronix Wi-Port device which looks like a serial
port to your processor/uController and deals with all of the necessary
WiFi stuff. There is also an ethernet flavour called X-Port.
