Are you looking for something like a Wireless bridge? I have a Linksys
one and I know Netgear makes them as well. It's a unit that basically
plugs into a wired system on one side (single machine or hub) and a
wireless system on the other and passess all the data back and forth.
Basically a media adapter with a few TCP options like IP, netmask,
gateway, etc.
