Etherboot, gPXE and iPXE are mostly orthogonal to Syslinux.  Although
they may provide a menuing system, their real background is getting up
to at least a PXE-friendly environment that can be used by built-in
functionality or for loading another PXE NBP like PXELINUX.  I'd think
Syslinux also has a more extensible infrastructure.

As long as there's a suitable underlying API that PXELINUX can call,
it won't matter what Ethernet-like medium is underneath.

Another option is using the iSCSI support of iPXE.  That works over
WiFi, and you can use plain syslinux on top of that.
