Thanks for any tips,

There is <http://us.slingmedia.com/> for sending video (also from STB's)
up to HDTV quality (depending on model) over the Internet to your PC (Mac
OS X or Windows OS), so perhaps it can be combined with wireless Internet.
Don't know how to rebroadcast it.

I absolutely *love* my Axis 206W network camera:

    <http://www.axis.com/products/cam_206/index.htm>

I use it as part of my home-made surveillance system I arm when we
leave the house.

This is one of Axis's cheaper cameras, but it's still great!  In
general, you'll find the image quality of Axis cameras is a step above
the rest, and what's *really* cool about their cameras is they run
embedded Linux, so if you are so inclined you can hack them to behave
differently!  Axis makes terrific cameras!   : )

Here's a live stream from a Axis 206W:

Depends upon what you mean.  Wireless cams that will broadcast over the
internet are available, one that can be used as a webcam for online
chatting software like Yahoo is a different story.

You might want to check out the sourceforge site for macam, I suggested
that he support a wireless cam as a webcam, but there was no real
demand for it...

If I understand the question, my iSight camera works.  I have to plug it
into the machine (iBook G4, OX 10.4.8) but I've carried the machine and
cam all over the house showing son in Tucson the new carpet.  :-)
