FWIW, stay away from Linksys if you can help it. I used to love them for basic stuff, but once I wanted to do more advanced stuff like bridging and having "Client APs", i hit all kinds of problems...even getting 2 identical APs to talk to each other. I've gotten D-Link every since and been happy. I haven't tried Linksys since Cisco has taken over and help them fix some of their products, but I don't know that it's worth the risk. On that note, you can also get a Cisco solution if you have the money (separate router and AP)...but sometimes it's just not worth it. I just got at NewEgg, a DLink 802.11g pack with a "wireless router" and PCMCIA NIC, with their "Super G" or whatever it's called technology, for 98 bux...something to consider.
