I have an employee that is using a Cisco 7960 across a double wireless
network. His wireless provider uses Cisco's wireless gear to provide 
wide area coverage (guess about five mile coverage), and since his
"house" cannot access their tower, he has an additional wireless link
from his barn to his house using Linksys equipment in a bridging mode.

It works fine with both g711 and g729 codecs most of the time, but once
in a great while the local Linksys units lose connectivity. The lost
path will typically last from about five to more then 100 seconds. It
happens so infrequent that no one with any practical wireless 
experience has attempted to identify that issue (as yet).

We support several other isp's in the US that also use wireless, and
most of the commercial/quality installations will support voip just
fine. Non othe them use the inexpensive 802.11 gear however.
