Unless this is a bluetooth mouse and your computer has built in bluetooth, any attempts are a waste of time. A wifi card or cellular modem has a digital signal processing chip built into it that is able to only work with a few supported modulations. Anything else is impossible on that hardware.

It would be *possible* to modify the mouse to speak wifi, but it'd be questionably sane, and would require you to spend in the range of $50-$150. So, even if you modified your mouse to speak wifi, you would need to write the code to make it speak ethernet, and write a driver for your computer to turn ethernet packets into mouse movement. If you get *that* far, you still have the issue that the mouse will not be able to connect to your wifi card whilst you are using said wifi card for internet access.
