None of that will work, until Arca Noae finds the time to finish the Multimac WiFi drivers. Right now, it is more important to get USB 3 working, and that project is slowly gaining ground. Just not enough people who know how to do it, and not enough hours in a day to do all of it.
Most people get a device that will attach to the wired NIC, and do WiFi. The last one, that I got, was a Netgear model EX2700 N300 WiFi Range Extender. It works well, with OS/2, and it is useful for other things too.

Read this thread to see what will work for wifi.

Hi.
I just slip the topic to try to help Rick in a better way.
Rick, it is good to know that you have ArcaOS. Can you please post the output of the pci.exe command.
Here I have an article on how to use it.
You can run it as "C:\sys\install\detect\pci.exe >pciout.txt" and share on the forum the pciout.txt file. With that we will know exactly the hardwareID of the wifi card.

Hi Doug.
So you think is not even worthy to try GenMU with those? Those models are listed on the GenMU test version, but as you told before there are different firmwares on the adapter and the majority does not work. It is not even worth the try?
Regards
