Forgive my ignorance, but what use is a base station if you have no computers running? Surely if you have once pc which you are accessing most of the time, (This could be a router or something like that) you could bung a wireless card in that and that would solve the problem. You could of course very easily make a base station out of a 486, for about a tenner plus card. They don't cost much to run, no fans, no disks...
