Wireless Drivers for Linux

[Lee Einer]

On a more general note, I am looking to install a wireless access 
network in my home. It will be accessed by my wife's laptop, which is 
running Windows 95, and my desktop, which runs Mandrake 8.2. I would 
like to use a wireless router, rather than setting up a Linux box as a 
firewall and router. I would also like to share the printer between 
these two PCs. What hardware would you recommend, keeping in mind that I 
am not particularly wise in the ways of networking?
