This maybe somewhat off topic. I have a wired LAN with a Linux box that connects to the Internet using an ADSL line. The Linux box provides NAT, masquerading and a firewall, allowing the other machines on the network to access the internet. The other machines are connected to the network via a hub. I would now like to add wireless access to the network.
A cheaper soultion is to buy wireless network CARD (PCI or USB). Then, you can configure the card to work in Ad-Hoc mode, or in some cases even act as an access point. Wireless cards usually cost a loss less than an access point, and are more than enough if you have a machine always on anyway (moreover, I think they consume less power).
