i would suggest that you look at wireless Ethernet bridges. I have three 
of them on our home LAN and they are the simplest to configure, no 
drivers needed. I have some brand new PCI card adapters still in the 
boxes, gave up on them long ago.

The Ethernet bridges are configured from your browser. I have one from 
Linksys and two from Buffalo, the latest  "Nfiniti wireless-N dual Band 
Ethernet controller" according to the box which I am looking at as I 
type this. Set one up and you can plug any computer into it, as I said 
no drivers to install, and in fact I have three computers and a laser 
printer connected to the four ports on this newest one.

My 2¢ worth.
