dd-wrt This is a linux distro for linksys WRT54GL routers, router is about $45 and with dd-wrt's software it will do wireless bridge as well as a lot of other stuff. For example where I worked they paid $600 for VPN box, dd-wrt does the same $45. Also dd-wrt supports other wireless routers as well.
We set up a wireless bridge (wireless back to CAT5) at work to connect remote office space using dd-wrt.
