I have a Linksys WEP11 that does 802.11b for one port, Linksys also
makes a WET54GS5 which appears to be a 802.11g bridge with a 5 port
switch built in. Looks like it does not function as a router, just a
switch with a wireless uplink. Looks like Netgear makes a WGE101 which
is a multiport wireless bridge and they also make a ME101 that just does
the bridging with a single port. For my use I bought the Linksys WEP11
because it had a few more options as far as usabality in infrastructure
or ad-hoc mode, the netgear MA101 was infrastructure only at that time.
Not sure if you can still find the WEP11 though. But netgear still
appears to be selling their MA101.
Hope this helps in what you were looking for.
