Amigakit sells this (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=121&osCsid=0f99ae1a9fbf06467352b08fcaaac843), but your PCMCIA slot will need to be accessible.

Alternatively, you could get a wireless bridge (which Amigakit also sell, or you could get one from pretty much anywhere that sells networking equipment.)

There are PCMCIA WiFi cards which work on the Amiga A1200 / A600.  AmigaKit sell compatible cards.  Or you could just plug the Amiga directly into an Ethernet port on your live box instead of plugging it into the PC (using a straight-through cable rather than the crossover cable).

@Gav:

Just get a router with a wireless port, then all your computer can share your internet connection and you don't need to use wireless cards for them if you don't want too. Or maybe that is what the livebox is? If so, just use it ;).
