USB device + WiFi dongle

[dhouston]

How feasible would it be to retrofit an existing USB 2.0 device with WiFi using something like a WPS-capable USB/WiFi dongle?

Virtually every USB communication is between a USB host and a USB device. The host has USB host hardware and firmware. The device has USB device hardware and firmware.

The wireless adapter is a USB device that must connect to a USB host. This adapter requires a "PC with an available USB port, 1GHz CPU, and 1GByte Memory" that supports one of: "32-bit and 64-bit Windows 8/7/Vista/XP, Mac OS 10.4/10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8/10.9 and the latest version of 32-bit and 64-bit Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, etc."

If you want a wireless HID, look at Cypress WirelessUSB:

The additional information you provided to me doesn't change the facts. If you want to use a Pi board, you will need to find a way to use the Pi as a USB device that can receive files from a a PC (in other words, with device support for the mass storage class) and at the same time provide a host port with support for the Bluetooth dongle.
