I just went with a wireless bridge to put my Linux box on the wireless
part of my network. It has a couple of advantages. You can use
standard PCI cards which are cheap and easy configure. You can use
standard Cat 5 cable to connect to the bridge box, which gives you a lot
of flexibility when it comes to placing the bridge to get the best
signal from the router.

Here is the one I went with, but there are lots of others out there.
