I actually have, for a remote, solar-powered setup where there was no 
fiber or other infrastructure to the system.  Server was a sensor 
platform.  But networking is networking, regardless of the particular 
layer 1 in use.

I'm running a few workstation setups with USB WiFi NICs.  These are 
again due to some odd infrastructure restrictions where running cable 
(UTP/ScTP or fiber) was impractical or cost-prohibitive.  Or in one case 
where cable simply could not be run at any price due to not being able 
to disturb properly encapsulated asbestos.
